Talking AM- Air Box

All, I was looking into the below Air Intake for my 997.1 Coupe - does anyone know if this is a good intake for the 997.1 platform 3.8 platform? any insight would be greatly appericated - BTW I currently have the AWE Intake, but I feel hot air must get into the intake, concerning there is not blocking.

Almost 20 years old and still Rock Soild, 103471 miles, zero issues.

Nice car - there's no image attached or link to the "AM" box you're referring to - post it up so we can have a look

This is for the 997.2

MAF + Throttle body locations are different and the oil filler tube won't fit, causing the engine lid to not close.

it's clean looking, I'll say that. I would argue that it has the same issues that any other "Cold air intake" has by pulling in hot air from the engine compartment and I say that as a Fabspeed CAI owner, but I love the way it sounds too much to take it off.

I currently have the AWE Intake, which is great, just thought this one would be better - thanks agian

I have the EVOMS also, no complaints, sounds great a bit better throttle response.

I still think the Champion F77 carbon fiber intake is the best 997.1 intake out there
