For telling the heat saturation and absorption on the metal versus plastic (composite, ABS, PVC, ECT) you would need a tuner to read the temps on the IAT sensor and the sensor would have to be far enough at the end of the intake to see the difference.
Yea it's basically the same thing as the airaid mentioned before. No, it's not a $350.00 CAI but that is also why I nicknamed it the "poormans CAI". I have noticed a considerable difference in the throttle response and seems to have a little bit more power climbing hills,doesn't seem to work as hard.
it makes a big difference, no one realizes how restrictive the "hat" is, my intake is by no means no big name or high priced, i opted for a mopar knock off, and i love it, it was like $75 shipped...made well havent had any problems with it, yet it is aluminum, i have not noticed any heat saturation with it, and ive pulled readings from my s/c...
Well I switched my intake pipe over to pvc tonight so I wouldn't have any concerns with heat saturation, so I think I should be good to go now. Thanks for the heat saturation tip.
