Yes. Maybe. There is disagreement on this site. It is often called a WAI, "warm air intake." In theory, it works because of reduced pumping losses, not leaner or better atomized fuel/air mixes. The ECU will respond to any lean condition and compensate. But when the intake air is warmer and the ECU compensates, you accomplish the same power by opening the throttle plate more. Therefore you reduce pumping losses. I was a believer for a long time. I sorta still am. But work on my car meant I took my WAI apart. My FE has not suffered (a fact that proves nothing).
