Aluminum Intake Pipe

[MXHonda97]

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...

HEY,

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.

it would be best to use pvc with some sort of cone filter and custom made box.
