[QUOTE="wbt, post: 10452203, member: 113712"] Hmmmm....that is a paradigm that needs to be dropped. The air moving through the tube is at such a high rate that it doesn't have time to absorb heat. Thinking it through in simplest terms one could come to the conclusion that a metal tube would absorb more heat and then radiate that inside affecting the IAT's. This simply isn't the case. In fact, Jannetty Racing did a test not so long ago of CAI's for the 5th gen Camaro. The plastic tube intakes didn't have any better IAT's than the metal tube intakes nor did they make any more power simply because of the materials used. In fact, the best performing intake is made by CAI, Inc. utilizing an air scoop from ADM. This is a metal tube intake BTW. Some food for thought. The metal vs. plastic debate is simply a wives-tale.
