I have heard that it would be ceramic coating.  This guy doesn't do it but his cousin does.  I may check back with him in the Spring.

Dumb question? The stock air box is sealed off and it helps to keep the heat off. Now the k&n and air raid cai is an open box and letting the heat from the engine absorb into the cai. How does this help the performance.

To me, just a drop in airfilter sealed up in the box would be a better choice. Just my thought
