Please explain to me the difference of where my physics were wrong? Think of it this way.... the csl snorkel shoots the air directly up which i am assuming most of it would be sucked into the intake because of where the air exits the snorkel but the rest would disperse into the engine bay. The afe intake has a cover on top with sheilds around all sides but is not totally sealed off from the engine bay... so alot of air would be trapped in the box except for the air that is being pushed out the non sealed areas by new air entering the box from the scoop. Also because of where the filter is placed on the afe intake and where the air extis from the rpi scoop it means the cold air is directed right onto the filter. Still don't know where i am losing you on this one?
