I've kind of been turned off by all the CAI I have seen on the market. They restrict the air flow less but they pull their air from under the hood instead of the fender like the factory box. Seems to me they are just increaseing the air flow, filtering the intake less and pulling warmer air, not pulling in colder air.
Putting the intake up front might not be a good idea. I'll leave that discussion to other posters.
