everyone that have the K&N Typhoon intake, i wonder you can keep the stock Z-tube and install the rest of the parts. coz i believe the pipe that came with will be hot after the engine runs for a while. let me know.

Why bother to buy a K&N if you want to keep the stock tube? Buy a popcharger. I bought the K&N for the looks and sound, not for any hp gain. The tube does got hot, by insulating you might get another 1 hp extra. Who cares about 1 hp?

polished metal will run cooler than plastic or black metal. The heat is deflected off the polished surface - to a certain extent, its more engine bay dressup for the Z's power output

So I will never believe the dispute between plastic or metal intake tubes...
