Ya i have been wanting a CAI kit for my pt also, and i was drawn to that same auctions, but i remembered old saying, "you get what you pay for" so that is what has stopped me from buying it. I was thinking of going with a K&N kit but the cost is just too high for my mom who really could care less.......

You may be able to still get this one:

The filter can be cleaned (cleaning kit is $15).
As to that hot air/cold air - I feel that once you're moving, it's less of a factor - there'll be less difference in temps.

Once you get moving air mixed with the hot engine air is still a lot hotter than if you were drawing only cold air. Look at how hot your engine is when you stop and turn it off. Moving air is not cooling it off hardly at all. A hot air intake will give you maybe a couple hp but you will lose some torque. With the stock airbox and a K&N type drop in filter you might gain a couple of hp and gain some torque. That's a no brainer. But, if you like the full race look and the sound and don't care about losing some torque then go with the hot air intake. They do look cool.
