Combined with a grill block it can be very effective.
Overly effective, even. I had to put my intake duct back on. The grill block gives better control over conditions than the duct removal.
With any of those it is advisable to keep monitoring air intake temps.

As with grill blocks there is the added danger of raising the general under hood temperature high enough to cook the battery. Maybe not literally, but it does not like getting much hotter than 40°C / 104°F.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
