Did some data logging last night with various "stock" intake setups

The difference is that I removed the lower resonator that sits below the airbox. When I put the stock airbox back in after having a CAI for a while, I thought the resonator would rob me of some flow just like the resonator in the G-tube. I knew it might mean slightly higher temperatures but assumed that effect would be minimal given the location of the resonator opening relative to the filter.
Right now I'm experimenting and I've plugged up the lower airbox resonator with a squirt bottle cap. The induction noise is a bit deeper. Driveability doesn't seem to be impacted either.

You know now that I think about it, I'm not so sure. I had the stock airbox then, versus the stillen airbox now. I haven't the opportunity(nor the tools) to datalog since I put on the stillen.
But from discussions with others regarding the various intakes, the stillen has slightly better cooling properties than the JWT; neither are very close to the stock airbox. Meaning, both the stillen and the jwt will heat up more quickly than the stock airbox, but they also cool more quickly than the stock airbox.
