Cold Air Intake, Having either the air filter outside of the engine bay where the air is colder, or by having the air filter in a sealed box with a port piped up to the front bumper (the better way--the ram air way)

Cold air is denser than warm air so more air/fuel mixture is able to be combusted giving extra power. If you have a ram air setup then the air is also pressurised by the forward motion of the car giving an extra turbocharged effect (approximately 1psi can be achieved.)

oh, ok now i know what you are talking about, i think there is a cold air intake on the car, but it might be a short ram intake, not sure but it is from injen and it is chrome with a big filter on the end (i will have some pics. of the car on here tomorrow) but the filter is still under the hood with all the heat, not extended to the bumper.
can you put the big filters in a sealed box with a port pipe to the bumper? again i will have pics tomorrow so you can see what i am talking about
