Default Intake - Heat Question

Looking on AM for a CAI. Just got a 2015 GT. I will be getting a tuner also. I know my car has a tube running from the intake filter box to the grill to pull in cooler air. I am looking at C&L intakes. The one with the box says 30 ish horsepower gains. I know this is approximate. The C&L without the box around the filter the "racer" style has higher approximate gains. Does the lack of a box not affect the incoming air temp? It has to. Wouldn't it thereby affect the HP gains?

from what ive heard you are going to be gaining most of the HP from the tune. the CAI is negligible on these cars.
