Intake temp question

Ok. I've been searching through the forums looking for ideas for cold air intakes. I have a cone filter on it now, so I think I'm just gonna build a box around it and route a hose to the front bumper. A couple of threads I've run across say rotaries prefer hot air. I do understand that cold air is more dense, and thus contains more oxygen per volume. So then that "hot air" claim is false, right?

Dunno who claimed that, but it's a load of stinky BS. Engines prefer cold air, all of them.
