When Graham said drop-in, I thought he meant something in the lines of "bolt-on". Now I realize you were referring to the OEM replacement. Duh on me.
Engine temps don't seem to REALLY affect the performance unless you're talking RED-HOT engine cracking the paint on your hood. With all due respect to Wassaab, I'd recommend the open air unit. Hey, anything's an improvement from the snorkel that you have now. Basically, the airbox (can) is a silencer of engine noise, rather than heat protection.
The reason I say the temps don't seem to REALLY matter is that the compressor is hotter than the air the K&N is taking in, so there really isn't any damage done. (When air is compressed, it creates heat too) Amount, density, pressure, and temp of air is as good as the intercooler that you have.
Good luck!
