CAI: Engine compartment air vs Outside air

Hi all,

Theoretically/logically thinking, getting outside (cold) air using the original path (MINI front grill) (or any other path) is better than the (hot) air within the engine compartment right.

Does anyone (physically) proven the above statement is true/valid? Like experimenting with both source of air - engine compartment and outside (front grill) - do you feel the different? car goes faster? dyno? etc

Please share...

Thank you very much
