it depends, really. Most intake setups for the FD are not ducted and suck in only hot air.

I wouldn't say it's harmful, really, but it's not as helpful as you might expect.

Comparing to stock:
Pros: louder, more flow
Cons: draws air from the hot engine bay, louder

i consider short ram wise for an untuned setup. the real danger is the intakes taking in cool air while still running on the base map. really cool air = less pressure = overboosting.

Pulling cold air from outside the engine bay is easy ,free horsepower. Its little things like this that you'll pull in front of that Z06! ha h a

The stock airbox can be modified to flow really well, and bring in cold air.

Nice, so does the fact it's louder outweigh the fact it's louder

overboosting can harm the engine?..is there a posibility that i will be encountering overboosting?

the stock ecu doesnt want to see any boost increase over 10psi. unless you have a decent cold air setup and your driving in 40 or less degree weather, you should have nothing to worry about.

Yes, but not if it's your first mod.

The stock ECU does not change it's boost control settings. So if you add (for example) an intake, downpipe, and muffler, your boost may increase from 10psi max to 11.5psi. It usually takes about 3 flow mods to cause this.* Just installing an intake on a totally stock car will probably not increase boost at all. If your boost ends up above 11psi at all I recommend installing some boost control upgrade to dial it back down to 10.

*A midpipe (catless exhaust) can drastically affect boost levels - I recommend upgrading all the other stuff before installing a midpipe.

The stock ECU is limited to 12psi, then it cuts fuel. (If you have the high output 99+ model it's a little more). While fuel cut won't harm the engine, it's annoying as hell and sometimes the fuel cut doesn't enact fast enough to prevent detonation. Then it's pretty harmful.

My intake temps get so high sometimes with my Apexi intakes sucking in hot air + heat soak, I am tempted to do the adam c mod, and see if it helps...

you will def see a change in intake temps. yours right now are, if you think about it, serving little to no purpose. cept for louder spool. short ram intakes on fd's are alot less effeciant then they are on naturally aspirated cars

i never knew this was a word? this is the worse spelling i've seen in a while...haha

can you give me a tip on what should i upgrade first?
thx...

Then came the LSx FD. Vroom!

Adam is correct. The poor mans intake is basically the best designs you can buy/make. It's cheap and draws in large amounts of cold/dense air, while maintaining a totally stock and CARB compliant look. It's hard to beat.
