It's cheap and I really see no way of it being "unsafe." I mean, it's not like your exposing your intake to water or anything. Yes you're getting HOT air but whatever...
I'm just expressing my thoughts that the open intakes are not for me. Coming from a supercharged car (the AMG s/c'ed 5.5L M113), we pulled almost all our hairs out trying to lower the IAT to maximize HP gain. I just couldn't understand the theory of these open intakes made for the N54 engines. I'm simply posing a question and when I got the answer, I expressed my own personal opinion that I would go for a route that I considered safer, a route that I know would keep the IAT low but still increase air flow (alas, GruppeM). No where in this thread have I ever said that open intakes are "UNSAFE". Please don't put your words into my mouth. Thank you.
