FWIW
Back around 1971 or 2 I thought cooler air for the carbs might be nice being
as how I was attempting to get the 6 to go faster.
I whacked the front end of the factory air cleaner out to get a bigger hole
and pop riveted a coffee can (Folgers if you must know) over the hole and
aimed forward. Used clothes dryer vent hose to connect to a dryer vent elbow
installed in the high tech factory cardboard ducting air to the radiator. Put
hardware cloth over the opening to filter out the big hunks (and mice) and
used the stock filter elements for the residual.
By today's standards this is totally bush league, but this was 30 years ago
and Triumphs were just cars then and the primary objective was to blow 240Z's
in the weeds. Bottom line is - it did and does work and it cost maybe 4 bucks.
If you're curious about cold air benefits, something similar would be a cheap
'try it and see'
