I think the pipercross viper kit is the best for performance, giving 10+ bhp ? also its cold air fed.

Yep the Viper is the best performance wise or the K&N Typhoon similar piece of kit! Yet both are the most expensive

When the filter draws in hot air from the engine bay. This happens with the open filters, and can cause a loss in performance.

My open filter has a direct cold air feed from the front of the car, so I have not noticed any loss in perormance, even on really hot (45 degree+) days.
