Excuse the potential numpty question, but will it have any effect on the performance (good or bad)?
Without the ability to micro monitor the air volume and temperature it would be difficult to say.

There is a ram air tube in the wing feeding the filter so I don't think air volume will be a problem. Alot more capacity and more direct feed than the OE setup.

It will seal off better from the effects of hot underbonnet air though as despite the heatshield having a rubber seal around the top it didn't actually seal against the bonnet. It was moreally of an aesthetic.
