Orange will certainly dissipate heat better than black.

If you want looks, get a Mopar Performance 14x3 setup, sand the black wrinkle paint, tape off the aluminum mills and have it painted body color, or color of choice. Then remove the tape and clear over the aluminum mills so it stays shiny. With a K&N filter in it, it looks fantastic and sounds good too.

I'm in the minority here as far as a 14x3 sounding good. JMO

Some hate the sound you get from a 14x3 some like it. Me, I like it. Too each their own i guess.

When I first put the 14x3 on, it sounded like a jet engine! But as the computer re-learned the IAC settings, it quieted down. Now it only does it when I get on it. It truly lives up to the name, MAGNUM!!
