Three reasons.
1. It reduces heat imparted to the transmission ( mostly in traffic ).
2. Thermal dynamics. Hot air moves faster.
3. It reduces the metallic / raspy sound of the exhaust.
Edit. JUN BL use a thicker gauge stainless tube on their systems which helps make the exhaust note less raspy.
Also, The fit and finish of the JUN BL stuff is very good.
Unlike stock free flowing closed box that is getting the air from outside, the open aftermarket cone filters sucking the hot engine compartment air. How is it improving anything?
Took my car out for a good solid drive and it now sounds totally different under all conditions ( much quieter ).
NOTHING like a Ferrari now. Somehow it's gone back to sounding like a Stinger.......
In my old R32 Skyline, swapping from stock to a good 3" system completely changed the sound and it stayed that way.

I have AEM intakes on my car, which are similar to the k&n but with non oily filters, it's been pretty hot this summer and even after hard driving the car has been totally fine. Stock box, fully sealed, open air, the issues he seems to be having shouldn't be happening with the setup he has. Many use the open filters and don't have any issues.
K&N mate... stock set up no issues apart from lack of noise.
When the ecu gets read and updated I will refit them and cross my fingers, because if no issues then I will add the tune and bump up the boost .
If i still get limp mode from just intakes then this thing will stay standard and probably get sold !!

Not sure where you live but I live in MN, have had aem intakes on my car for multiple winters. It can get to be -30 or below for weeks at a time, can also snow 12+ inches during a snow storm. My intakes have been completely fine in that climate.

If you can't figure it out I'm not gonna waste my time explaining it... Trolls are so much easier to deal with on ignore
I have uncovered the front cold air intakes by the way so it breathes a lot better now than when it was stock.
K&N come with a 9hp dyno improvement money back guarantee as well... if you believe all you read ??
I find it extremely hard to spend money on a tune for this thing when everyone has problems with different tuners and yet cannot get nothing but sarcastic comments on forums !

Of course, you wont explain, because you can't. 9hp gain is a joke. You can get bigger difference on a dyno between runs. The only real difference between all these intakes is a filter material. Some are oiled some are dry. Also these open intakes let your hear your turbos. Some people like it.Computer controlled turbocharged engine is not going to push more air and adjust everything else, just because you install some magical filter. Or maybe your free flowing intake breath too good. Relax, and keep ignoring everything you don't like. Edit: not sure what year your car is. But looks like 21+ models are lot more sensitive to any aftermarket "upgrades", and go into limp mode a lot more often than older years. A lot of posts about it.

The only thing I can think of is that either the filters are dirty / damaged thus causing a restriction or you have a leak ( like a hose off or split duct etc ) and that's throwing the air fuel reading out (?)
