They are selling this product and it details: it runs better in cold days than hot days.

"A high-quality cold air intake is the system used to bring down the temperature of the air running through the vehicle that is intended for increasing the internal-combustion engine power. Furthermore, the intake enhances the appeal of your Ford Bronco by changing the appearance of the engine bay while creating an attractive intake noise. The engine in your Ford Bronco 1990 -1993 runs better on a coolday than on a hot day . This is due to the cooler, denser air that is holding the additional oxygen mixed with your fuel to produce power. A good quality K&N cold air intake filter is well- engineered to function well. In a typical Bronco engine, the air box and intake plumbing is configured to drawhot engine bay air through your cylinders, which apparently does not hold much oxygen. The cold air intake system replaces your stock factory plumbing to allow your engine to draw in cooler outside air. This system also contains a high flow FordCold Air Intake Filter that increases the amount of air that’s fed to the cylinders. This filter favorably provide bigger power boost. A cold air intake, in conjunction with a quality cold air intake filter, will definitely give better horsepower and torque gains of up to 15 percent. This means that you can save yourself from a lot of expenses since the filter is washable and reusable. For your intelligent replacement operations, always rely on an established online store like ours. Keep on browsing through our parts catalog for your K&N K33RF1012 in stock. We have great offers to put forward so take a deal with us today! "
I think AFE should mention like this on all their products.

Every car performs better in cold conditions. Every car performs worse in warmer conditions. It's simple physics. But that's not what the AFE is doing. The AFE is taking in the most immediate air from it's closest source. And what source is that? That's right kids, it's your engine. Now I'm not saying that 100% of the air is coming from the engine bay. No, a good amount is coming from outside as well. However, having an open source cone filter is not helping the situation. Having a stock air box may seem a bit restrictive, but if it's keeping hot air out and has an opportunity to have cold air (outside air) forced in, such as the RPI Scoops, then all the better.
So whether Santa is coming or not, doesn't really matter.
And lastly, I was one of the first to install the AFE on my 530. I raved about it too and convinced many other members on here to get it. Aside from the sound, that's about all it did. Fortunately, I also had an Exhaust, Remap and a Sprint Booster on that car, so the overall performance of the car was much better than stock. However, all the AFE did was make the car sound more aggressive. But hey, if you like how it sounds and don't care as much about the performance, then that's fine.

They forgot to mention that EVERY car on the road performs better on a colder day too. You should tell them that as well.

yes, but the only difference is AIRFLOW. more airflow better. that is why I made a dual intake (DINAN alike but with AFE).... the car is double aggressive.
Edited: Video of difference between single intake vs Double intakes (with AFE) http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=08OU_9N4U8c

However, having an open source cone filter is not helping the situation. Having a stock air box may seem a bit restrictive, but if it's keeping hot air out and prevents it from mixing with the cold air, then that's key. That being said, the opportunity to have cold air (outside air) forced in without coming into too much contact with a direct heat source, such as the engine, is ideal. For that, we bring in the RPI Scoops.
