what would you gain from doing this other then one less thing under the hood??
Good luck putting an intercooler in. Your hotside piping is going to be impossible unless you delete it or relocate it.

what does it do exactly? In case your airbox suffers a catastrophic failure, you have a backup system? or what

It warms up the engine and cat faster. Great for lowering emissions and get you moving sooner in the cold weather. If you live up north, its a must unless you want to wait another 15mins to get the water temp up to the mid line

I live in the Northwest, where temps are pretty cold on average. Daily here, it's like... 4x*?
