    Jwt says run the plastic tubes if at all possible. Plastic tubing will cool off faster then hot metal tubing anyday. But the metal tube still show inprovement over stock so they do work. I would get the banks if it wasnt so much coin.

    Though he's def right. Probably not a huge difference with the metal tube only running 1/4 mile with 4 inches of cool outside air being shoveled into the box. Also, I had DEI heatwrap on my AEM, that stuff worked great to keep the intake tune from getting hot....Now sitting in traffic with a metal tube will def raise the IAT

    Yea it will be fine for the stip as long as you let it cool down between runs. And the heat rap is a very good idea.

    That sounds about right. Did they both gain the same amount of ° when setting in traffic? It that case the plastic should cool off quicker when you get back up to speed compared to the metal set up.
