14x3 draws hot air from the engine compartment. Stock system is just fine, unless you are building a high rpm motor. Dropping a good free flowing air filter into the stock box is actually "best" for most folks.

Hey it works for me :P In my experience, i have not noticed a diff with a 14x3 vs a cai, or anything else for that matter. The biggest thing IMO: is the filter clean or dirty? That seems to make a much much larger difference!

The difference in power is probably so minor as to be irrelevant to most of us here..... some folks like the sound of the open element filter better..... I like peace and quiet when I drive. (yeah, that's why I like to bring my dogs with me.... go figure.....)

It's like they say... If it's too loud, you're too old.

Don't see where you guys hear that 14x3 when driving! Maybe my exhaust is too loud or something.. It does sound like a little turbo spoolin when I start it up and give it a touch of throttle though.
