Air intake advise

Hi
I would like some advise on the use of the "Open element type airfilters" sometimes called performance air intakes like Tymar, AFE, K&n, Ect.
Would it take longer to warm the engine? On cold winter days!
Wouldn't you need to draw air from outside the factory air box?
What systems you had luck with!
Thanks

I have the AFE and no it doesn't take longer to warm up. My box draws air from the grill next to the radiator.

Do a Thread search, key word "Tymar". You will read some excellent articles on the subject of airbox modifications.
