here is a good comparison
http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/intake.html
he found max temp at idle around the air filters with the m2 was 137, with pettit it was 162. it really is as common sense as it seems.

I am not personally convinced that that test means squat. Who cares what your temps are at idle? Air temps at speed are going to matter, and so does flow capability. There may be a bit of a tradeoff there, but at speed and with a decent source for cool air I can't imagine there would be much difference. Of course I'm too lazy to actually go check the article in question.
