Steel piping Air intake

[WogBoyz]

well i went to supercheap and autobarn today, bascially 2 things went wrong firstly the steel pipe was too long and the fella at autobarn told me that steel attracts heat so no point putting that on cus it will just heat up the air going to the engine so im thinking of just using all of that silocan stuff you used is that possible?

yea that could be done if u wanted to, not sure how it would work tho, and ive felt my pipe after a decent drive and it was fine so dunno what that guy was talking about lol

lol what size is ur pipe man? diameter and length wise, im also guesing you got that silocan in one long tube cus the auto stoors only had pre bent crap

umm the pipe im not sure i just bought the first intercooler pipe i saw lol, it was pretty long like the one you mentioned before but i just slid it more into the silocan to compensate, yea the silocan was also a 90 degree pre bent 30cm long tube so i used a stanly knive and cut the amounts out i needed, the straight silocan tubes wernt big enough so i had to get pre bent
