Great write up Eric.
As far as the fitment goes, I have since emailed this write up to Volant's lead tech. and I expect some sort of response either Monday or Tues.
Why they chose the plastic tube, the answer is easy. It's not made of metal because metal (in most cases) doesn't even come close to dissapating heat nearly as quickly as plastic. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're getting your added performance gains from this intake because of 2 major reasons: #1) more air, #2) more colder air. If the tube was made of metal you'd be getting #1, but definitely not #2, which would seriously hinder the unbiased HP gains you've recently confirmed. Even with a Stainless Steel Tube (alla AirForce One Intakes) you're not maximizing the possible HP gains.
Ship times have been and will continue to be given everday or every other day. They are only posted in the GB thread, however not in the thread you inquired about.
Thank you again Eric for your time, purchase and support of TundraTruckz.com and SoCal Motorsports.
John
