and would the bracket also be considered a flange?
it is a lot cheaper here...

all SRI type intakes take hot air from the engine bay. The only intake that made a difference on my previous Si (K20Z3) was a short ram intake using a slightly modified MAF as well as the Apexi Power filter.
Ultimately you are using a MUCH better filter with increased airflow from the stock filter, so the car and breath easier, the few degrees difference in hot air may negate the power from increased flow. What i'm seeing is absolutely no loss in performance and a much nicer sounding car!
Agreed that it would be even better to fully seal off the filter box, but it's not possible for me as i have no way to fiberglass the enclosure. And there's no way that the filter cover would fit over the Apexi filter as it's too wide. The car still should suck in some cool air from the factory cold air resonator under the car.
I've never been a fan of CAI's as i ALWAYS feel like i lose throttle response.

I remember pushing the 'I Believe' button on a previous CAI thread discussing ram air effect. Unless the air is actually being compressed, the engine is only going to ingest the volume of air that it can physically handle.
I know there are some aerodynamic effects that will compress air as it would travel through that tube, but to my knowledge these happen at very high speeds, speeds greater than most of us are traveling routinely.

anyone have a good spot where you can run some sort of ram air type snorle to the intake area... i was thinking about running it somewhere from the front grill area, but all the fans and radiators are blocking good spots where air would be directed.

What is that from JC, a civic? I like that design, although routing is the issue on a TL/TLS. With a short engine bay that looks like it would work well. On the first pic, is there some air getting sucked in from over the hood?
