A lot of people seem to like metal cold air intakes.....this is stupid the whole point of a cold air intake is to deliver cold air....why would you get a metal piped intake when plastic disapates engine heat so much better..... just some random thought that I had......

 

For me it's the look. It's bad enough my 4.7 has a plastic intake manifold. I don't like to pop the hood and see plastic everywhere. My K&N intake is nice and (mostly) shiny.

 

i feel you for looks but thats the only advantage...

 

while the engine running hotter and the metal can heat up so the air would get lil bit warmer tha could reduce performance. just a thought

 

I would like to see this forced air ram intake you made.
