Tis not the same. That's more to stop the car fron overheating by feeding air to the radiator. There is no where for the hot air to go in a when the car is stationary. like running on a treadmill and putting a fan on, its not the same as running down the street.

Trust me they make little or no difference.

Well, actually I want to fit one, because of the sound mainly. I'm not worried about performance too much, because it's not even a GTI...and I'm not going to race buses on the high streets.
