the plastic intake tubes retain heat as well....nothing in a engine bay is adverse to heat maybe the ceramic coating is better then the metal or plastic....but nothing stays cool in the engine bay.....just the same comments posted by people that have read what others have posted...for every negative opinion there is a positive one..this covers eveything on the forum from cai to exhaust to tires ......i have a k@N on my car..looks way better then the plastic..but thats just my opinion...its what i like..so it doesnt really matter what anyone else thinks thats the way it is..if we all had the same things we couldnt debate everything
