CAI question, NEW Q, please read Options

[mikew04]

After searching and reading, many people on the board agree that intakes are minimal for performance, but if you do get one, go CAI. I have a gt, so i decided to make one. I took out the airbox, relocated the cruise control actuator, and i ran mandrel piping down over the starter and down to the splash guard where i put a K&N on. After driving for a while, and only noticing a sound difference, i took off the CAI part and made it a short ram. This felt slightly more tourquey during lower rpm's. Now, my question is, where the air filter was at on the CAI, it seemed MUCH hotter than where it is placed for the short ram, at the stock airbox location. Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

Yah, the filter was by the vent in the splash guard. I guess ill bring the filter back up till i get the time and money to put the intake in the fender. It sucks tho that i already spent money on it, i hope i wont have useless parts... Actually ill probably never have the motivation to run it down in the fender

EDIT: Also, pxcr440, how did you mount your cruise control actuator? mine is the same place as yours, but doesnt look as good haha. also, are you running the intake under the battery?
thanks
