Intake Opinions

[Josh Murray <mincarp1@xxxxxxx>]

I am looking for some insight  as far as air intakes are concerned.
There seems to be much debate as to whether or not the replacement air
filter/intake
that eliminates the factory airbox and replaces it with a K & N conical
filter actually makes a difference.
I have heard some say that the increase in horsepower is immediately
noticable, while others say that the fact that the conical filter draws hot
air from the engine (instead of the cold air that the factory filter draws)
eliminates any gains, if not removing HP's.
I am aware of the cold air baths availble, but that seems like to much
hassle.
Any input is much appreciated.
