Installed the intake today! Very, Very happy with it! With the heat shield and the factory fresh air scoop being used, I don't think heat will be too much of a problem. The sound is crazy with the Joe Z exhaust combined, and the car does feel quicker as well. Overall I give K&N an A+

I was talking to a friend about cars and we had a discussion about open air intakes and Heat soak....anyway I told him about a possible decrease in performance and he told me it depends on the way the engine is designed He said that if that is the case (decrease per) then why does the 2008 Shelby GT500KR come with a open intake design?
I think its BS but it got me thinking does the shelby have open air intake and why would Ford do this?

From what I'm reading, I'm guessing K&N has done a pretty good job on this intake cause I'm in the market for one. MOST people, would go for the Japanese stuff since this is American. Any videos or dynos? I can't seem to make up my mind since there isn't many parts out for the F yet
