The air that the stock SVX intake sucks is cold.

An aftermarket "cold air" intake system is only beneficial if it is designed to replace a stock system that sucks air from the engine compartment (hence warm).

The only way that one could really improve on the stock system is to remove all possible restrictions in the flow path.

Typical rule of thumb is to have about 2.0 CFM per 1 HP of a high performance engine. Thusly, the SVX requires approximately 460 CFM. The stock paper filter allows enough flow for 241 CFM. A K&N drop-in filter allows enough flow for 295 CFM. I've read that the K&N 0940 cone filter allows enough flow for 660 CFM, but don't know if it's true.

So my point is... Be sure to put the beginning of the intake tract where it belongs... In the fender well!!!
