I got mine not for the purpose of cooling the engine because for the most part the heat is towards the bottom of the engine anyways so cooling isnt a factor...BUT I also made my own Airbox and redid the intake piping to create what I believe is an effective system...It will draw in direct air from outside the car faster than the side vents because it can actually catch it. This colder intake air will also improve performance...however this will not create a dramatic power increase because the air can only be sucked into the intake manifold and not forced in...and it is only sucked in when the manifold vacuum is highest. Unless air is forced in with a turbo the most you can really do is cool the entering air and MAYBE increase its velocity slightly. But an actual box is very important if you plan on using a scoop as a slight performance increase.
