Aluminium piping. Is it a mistake or not?
Hi all.
I saw many replacing the plastic ducts in their cars with aluminium ones. Hell, I one of them  . But than I read somewhere that the metal is a conductor of heat, and the plastic (the compound from with the piping are made) is heat insulated. So is it or is it not a good ideea to replace the plastic pipes with aluminium ones? Are the aluminium pipes going to transfer the heat to the intake air and by doing so to reduce the performance of our engines? What do you think?

thats way you want to get a front facing throttle and intake setup to avoid running the intake right over the engine

Do they make those for the 7MGE or just the 7MGTE?

A FFIM on a 7M-GE may not work well. You'll loose the ACIS which helps level out the power band a significant amount and give you more power on the low end.
Yes, the metal does soak up heat quite readily. If you're doing a lot of city driving it may not be worth it. At idle my N/A's intake temps climb as much as 20?F. How quickly those temps drop once the car is moving again depends on how much I get on the throttle, but it takes a few seconds. I'm planning on adding a fiberglass sleeve to insulate it. I really can't say I recommend removing the resonator... but to understand that you would actually have to research it and learn how it works... so do as you will.

It is easier to put the plastic back than to change the position of the engine...
