FWIW- out of curiosity, I use a infrared laser thermometer to take the temperature under the hood of my 2019 RL, after reading a bunch of threads about heat, transmission, oil, etc. Surprise! - the air temperature under the hood was over 130 degrees Fahrenheit! To me, these aftermarket "cold air intake" are pure marketing BS.

The factory intake truly pulls in cold air

Plus, I believe that the factory intake is specifically designed to enhance the intake's efficiency: What Does an Air Intake Resonator Do?

On anther note;
The resonators on 99.8% of the Honda's out there are to reduce engine intake noise to keep the old folks happy. These are not performance designed resonators.

I find this statement very interesting for it completely contradicts previous discussions here we have had on this topic?

So, can we conclude that the answer to the OP's question:

has anyone had any luck with cold air intakes in a 2019 RT-E

is no?
