Have we all forgot about ADM.( shamless plug).....i've had the CAI Cai.....and when it gets hot out...it does soak.
I would alway prefer a polymer box. though i've talked at length with CAI main guy...and he is a smart man.( former Submariner engineer)
However what intake do you get when your median ambient temp is 80*-90*PLUS...? fricking So. Florida

I think the point is that , yes the box keeps the heat out. But, the metal tube is more heat conductaive then plastic. So if the engine bay is really hot, you might get more heat conduction to the air as it flows through the tube.

I guess my post was overlooked so I'll re-post...........

Have had mine on for just over a month now and LOVE it. Data logged IAT's 5-10 degrees below stock intake. No bucking. No surging and No codes!

Remember the
plastic stock intake with the
plastic tube?
The CAI intake tube is ceramic coated and better at shielding against heat soak than the plastic tube intakes.
