Yeah I was thinking that too...the metal would heat up more...and obviously heat the air inside.
But the difference must be marginal...is there any serious difference between the metal version and the rubber/plastic setup?

The other night i made a new mod for my intake.
The old backfire and blow the intake in half trick! Can anyone tell me an easy way to join it back together again? Or are these cheap?

its because of the backfiring...i think you should try something else...cos those plastic pipes heat up and get very thinned out...it might blow from another spot if u just repair it...try to use hard plastics...

That big fan surely is restricting airflow into your intake!

I've got a box to go on it, I just have to paint it and fit it properly. I used an Air Knife to cut the hole in the guard, came up beautiful... now I just have to NEON it! Lol at the backfire intake mod! No such worries here... yay for petrol only engines. I've found the intake awesome. Fuel economy has decreased, but thats probably due to the excessive revving at the lights (its an awesome sound, really) than the intake itself.

those of you on gas copping backfires, why dont you drill some holes in your airbox lid then tape them up from the outside with black duct tape, then when it backfires it will blow out the tape and not your intake, i did this to my mates ef and had no worries after that.
just a suggestion anyway.... |

i just got a pipe made today, mandrel with slight bend for airbox, to get rid of that stupid restricted el one. The ends needed to be widened to fit in the rubber parts better, and i acquired an au tseries snorkel last week.
