I discovered this thread and thought it wold be a good read for newbs on the forum. And so here's a bump with my 2 cents.
On my Maxima I left the intake tube intact and just cut a hole in the bottom part of the box to let in the engine compartment air while allowing the snorkel to feed in the cooler outside air. I think it makes a bit of a difference
My Explorer has a tube coming off the exhaust manifold that goes to a valve leading to the intake. The valve apparently is designed to open/close to keep the air temp at around 100 degrees. Wonder if that couldn't be modified to fit other vehicles.
