roush, plastic is definately the best way to go though, metal holds the heat

i heard it dosent really matter. id like to see testing done on that.

their was some done...a few guys on another forum measured the IAT temps with a metal and plastic intake tubes and the metal while sitting still ie: traffic or red lights etc really got hot but once moving would normal out. The plastic was a few degrees cooler across the board and much cooler in traffic. If your basically stock and NA then that heat won't really hurt you but if you have a Roots/Twin screw blower then heat is your enemy. They are hurt by even slight heat rises. Thats why Kenne Bell recommends plastic only in conjuction with his blowers.

They're all about the same.

Wow, that's a really nice comment for one of your new vendors.

nothing personal...just being honest...looks like import garbage adapted to our cars instead of a piece made specifically for a mustang.

i have a tunable induction intake and i love it... does its job well

i agree with droptoppony though plastic is the way to go ( jlt, tunable induction, k&n)

it's not..it's a perfect fit, Simota just released this intake for the 4.6L mustang, it's on their website....I replaced one of the cheap ebay ones with this one. it looks similar,but the pipes are a better quality, with a nice lip on the end...better job on the polished finish too, and they provide you with better clamps. Simota Filters out flow K & N also...

just get the full cai/tb/plenum setup from tuneable induction and call it a day. they supposedly get a nice increase as a package
