Been running the 14" K&N FIPK since the truck was a few weeks old. It's
'95 318. I live in San Antonio, Texas where it's generally pretty hot and
real hot in the summer March thru Oct). Never had any problem with the
open element. Through long discussions with others on the list and
formerly on the list, it was determined that volume of air can offset
temperature to a great degree. For me, the outside air is generally not
allthat much cooler than what's under the hood so the K&N FIPK is better
than the stock can. That said, I am impatiently waiting for Eric Kurtz to
get a ram air hood that will also allow heat to escape from under the
hood to me.
YMMV
