Looks like it will suck hot air, it ain't a CAI.

You should probably get a ram air hood if you are gonna get that. I'm pretty sure you will get better throttle response with that intake vs. stock, but whenever the truck is moving slow it will pull in hot air w/ stock hood. Once you get up to a decent speed there should be enough flow under the hood that it won't matter as much.

Looks cool, but I would think without some kind of hood letting cool air in all it would do is suck in hot air.
