I sold my K&N and ran the "gotts intake" for while on my green truck, my wife's "truck" is still running this same intake

Back when Mike Troyer posted on this site, he being one of the most recognized tuners of these trucks, and doing a lot of dyno work, said that the open filter was just fine. Being closed was strictly a cosmetic thing. He said there was no more or less heat either way. There are thousands of them out there that are open. Having said that, I still prefer the appearance of one closed, such as S&B.

I am surprised by that...a few years ago when I was really into modding cars, I was able to document the difference in AIT's via my laptop datalogging with the open cone intake vs. the intake utilizing the fenderwell for the cold air supply. The IAT's really shot up quickly with the open air intake in the engine bay. The true CAI numbers increased under hard acceleration, but at a much slower rate and did not even get close to those of the open filter. I was not able to test the stock airbox/filter combo as I tossed mine out when I went with an aftermarket setup. This datalogging experiment was performed on a turbo RX-7. The only thing I can see making a difference is the turbo....would the numbers be that different using a NA motor vs a turbo motor?
