i think since it is metal that it will attract the heat more than the factory tube would have............
inturn it will heat up ur air going into ur motor which wont give you ur full power increase from having an open filter
I THINK !!!!!
dont hold me to this
PEACE

Nice and shiny, but doesn't look like it fits properly to me. The filter should end up behind/over the battery. Maybe if you cut down the aluminum tuble and attach the rubber boot farther up? Or no rubber boot at all?
just some ideas.

Right in the pre 94 Ex you have to re-locate the battery in order to run the filter in the same location as the later models and Rangers...........
Having it behind the headlight really helps, especially when fed with a cold air feed from behind the grill.
Some of the Aerostars and Rangers had a great OEM intake tube, perfect shape for this...
I will get a pic

This thread disproves your argument.......

The ~~~~~~ shape of that rubber part may disrupt the airflow a little, but IMO, the vacuum of the cylinders will have no problem in that regard. Technically, the roughness will create a higher static pressure, but since the source is so strong, it shouldn't mean all that much lack of flow. The amount of flow desired will be accomplished without any problem IMO.
About the heat factor. In an intake system, there is quite a bit of CFM flowing through that small area, so the velocity is quite high. I would think that if there is any "real" heat transfer, it would be in the fractions of a degree which would mean very little, if not nothing, to the combustion process.

Looks G00d. I just Installed a IFab Air-Intake a few days ago, ill get some pics on the board. No rubber boot on mine, plus that tubing seens to go about 4-6" longer then my whole setup. kontinu1, did you think that the hood wasnt gonna close? mine is sittin on the rad. fan and rubs on the hood.
