Should not be comparing AFE in hot weather to AFE in cold weather.
I totally agree that AFE feels faster and feels like it pulls harder in higher RPMS. But this fiasco has showed me that feeling and the actuality of things are different.

Why not just keep the stock intake with RPI scoop year round? Zero problems in the summer and still better performance than AFE in the fall/winter.

So, basically you're sticking with AFE just for the sick sound that it makes?
