Yes, I already told them. cold weather the AFE is a beast. I drive to work everyday 6am (outside is about -10 to -5 C). the car runs pretty quick. no one believes me. Just enjoy your purchase as I do. Yes, I agreed the AFE sucks in hot weather like CA or southern of US. I already knew it when I drove in summer days (that is why I used insulators on the AFE). Confirmed with AFE in hot days (above 15C) it is much slower and losing HP.
I think AFE is not recommended for hot/medium places.
