I'm thinkin about making an intake out of aluminun pipe and adding a K&N to avoid spending $300 on the kit. Do you think that the aluminum pipe will produce higher intake temps than plastic? Is this a good idea?? ANyone done this before? Any suggestions would be great.
my aluminum tube gets damn hot. I'd do plastic if you can.

I have a crew cab 1500 and I get anywhere from 17-20 on the hwy and about 15 in the city...depending on how my foot is in it
i only have about 3000 miles on it, so hopefully it will get a little better...

I HAVE A 6.0L AND IT GETS 20-22 ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE STS TURBO AND THE NELSON TUNE. I AM RUNNING A 373 LOCK UP REAR.
I HAD AN ALUM. TYPE INTAKE AND IT RAN FINE I THINK IT WAS A BRUTE FORCE INTAKE. IT LOOKS SIMPLE TO MAKE AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THE ONLY THING YOU MAY NEED IS THE 90* FITTING INTO THE THROTTLE BODY.

What about heat wraping on the alum.
If I remember correctly...the subject of plastic vs. aluminum has been researched before and there were very little differences in intake temps. Yes at idle the aluminum is going to be warmer but as soon as you are under way the temps come down. I think this was even on the Brute Force website is where I remember reading it. The logistics of it is that on the road the incoming charge is not in the intake long enough to be heated by the surrounding metal. They measured the intake charge during development w/ a probe mounted inside the tubes (alum. and plastic)...I can log mine and if I let it sit in a driveway or at a stop sign the temps will rise but as soon as I get a couple of miles down the road the IAT is back to ambient. By the way I have an aluminum intake...Zed
