Money's not the only factor, they are 2 completely different set-ups, so don't you try to justify your $70 school project in comparison with the $1000 DINAN intake.

I saw the video and I have one question... Is that the alley where that one scene in Boyz n' the Hood was filmed? You know, that scene where the football player gets a big ol' cap in his ass? That looks like the same alley. Anyway, I couldn't help but notice.

aFe should say on their box.....For maximum gains use only in cold climate conditions....as its a "cold air intake"....the "cold" is for cold weather, not gonna get you cold air through the engine or in hot climate conditions... 
....I am going to take the f....ing thing out of my car this weekend and put back the stock box....all whoever I get in contact with is gonna know about aFe...its product and especially its non-customer service...I can assure you that.

The aFe HAI sucks hot air and the aFe representative blows hot air. Coincidence?? I think not.
The fact remains that no matter what the temperature is outside the car, the temperature under the hood remains fairly constant...HOT. Translation...the aFe sucks hot air and sucks HP away from your motor.
