K&N intake kit pics
bought the kit since it was so cheap. finish looks great however hardware feels flimsy.

Looks clean, I'm actually surprised. How much that set you back?

Plastic doesn't retain/transfer heat as much as metal=more horsepower.

Corvette motors have a plastic intake manifold for this reason and to reduce weight...

Looks pretty nice though. The barbs can be replaced with brass if need be. Both plastic seals a bit better once tightened in.
