Funny...I felt the same on my car....it just pulls better on colder days, that is why i still have my so called...piece of shit...aFe still on the car. Plus I have the rpi installed...just for the additional "ram".

I guess I'm jumping on the bandwagon to say I concur with the original post... I live in San Jose, CA and go to work before 6am. It's been chilly around 55-60 degrees some mornings lately and I thought it was just my imagination that my AFE CAI was working better. Even with all the posts recently bashing AFE, I've decided to hang on to it for now... I've purchased but still haven't installed the RPI scoop to confirm I can feel a difference between the two.
