yes they do ....and they're definetly worth it, better/faster airflow and slight increase in boost.

Im not sure if its worth it for a NA car but for a SC'd car its definetly worth it. I heard anywhere from 1-2psi.

i guess maybe if your sitting at a stand still it might make a difference but if your moving your engine compartment isnt that hot.

the engine compartment is boiling hot all the time. the engine is always letting off heat and it takes up almost all of the engine compartment. and when you have a sc, its even hotter under the hood because the sc puts off as much heat as the motor.

bouchermb, you can check UPR. theirs is made of thick ABS plastic, which doesnt absorb heat and its a little cheaper then the metal one from afm. not sure how much cheaper tho

So do you guys think the UPR is the way to go?

I thought Black Snake has a UPR and it's metal. I might be wrong though, but it certinly does look metal.
