The problem here with most of the OTR-CAI's.
Is that the top air seal has been compromised and air can now escape from over the top of the ac condenser and radiator instead of being directed through the radiators for cooling purposes.
These engines already run at a higher temp (95C normal operating temp) for better emissions, I would be more than a little concerned about their use on a daily driver in traffic or in hilly country.
Don't see the point in gaining short-term hp by raising the chances of getting detonation through overheating. The cast pistons are not detonation tolerant.
Though the CMS intake (middle pic in "island boy's post) has the least affect on cooling airflow I've seen and would be worth checking out.
