I know that with Injen, the pipe in the engine bay is made out of metal. Is that same portion of the AEM also metal, or plastic. It's difficult to tell from their website.

It is all metal, of course being joined by silicone couplers.

It's actually a very nice kit, I got mine in yesterday.

Yes a sick setup, too bad they couldnt make the MAF smaller i think the bulkiness makes it look bad but other than that its sick but now my question is would it be smarter to put the water bypass on the top portion or the bottom portion of the maf. I would say the bottom but some people say top. help me out

I would say bottom, that way it drains out easier.....I haven't actually installed mine yet.

Some habits die hard. I have a fantastic Canon SLR. The only way to duplicate that pic quality is to get a 5 megapixel or higher. Not ready to make that commitment yet.

Well, sort of. The only area in which a good digicam can't compare to a good film cam is in print. (But they're getting darn close.) You would definitely want a very high res digicam if you plan to print your pics out, but then you'd also need a very good print system.

On the other hand, if you are not printing your pics and are only keeping them in the digital domain (web sites, electronic photo albums, etc.) then a digicam can easily match a film cam. Additionally, for that use, you wouldn't need such a high res digicam. I've got a high quality Olympus 2 megapixel digicam, and it produces amazing 1600x1200 photos, especially when you turn off jpeg compression and view the straight uncompressed images. Not enough for extremely high quality printing of course, but way more than enough for any sort of viewing on a computer.

Agreed....and then once you scan the pics in from the film, it's a whole new ballgame. While I'm sure the pics above look awesome in person, they look pretty low quality on the computer, I would say equivalent to a low quality digi-cam

The pics above are what they are calling the "clear". Definitely the best bet for those Lemans guys right now until the polished is off of back order (who knows,been backordered a month)
