Where did this whole "cold air intake" lingo come from?
Most "cold air intakes" that I have seen end up (or start, depending on how you look at it) with a conical filter open to under-hood air. Unless you live on the equator, this air is hotter than outside air. At what point did these "open" intakes become known as "cold air" intakes? Is this just marketing at its best?
On an Explorer, you really only have two "cold air intake" options. 1) stock intake 2) a snorkel. Your only third option would be an open intake under the engine, which unless you live somehwere where it never rains, I wouldn't suggest this.
Unless you are referring to a snorkel kit, there is no such thing as an aftermarket "cold air intake" system. All of them are gonna suck in hot-a$$ under hood air, so quit using the ricer talk!!!!
