One thing to keep in mind is the size of the tube itself. Picture a
2,000cfm cone at the end of a drinking straw. The extra surface area won't
do you a bit of good if you can't get it to the engine at that rate. I
have no idea if this is actually a problem or not, but its one less thing
that I have to worry about with my open element. It might be getting warm
air, but at least I know its an unrestricted path from the filter to the
TB. (Actually, it isn't warm air due to the ram-air hood...) :-)
