bravo! I remember guys doing this same test on the clubrsx forums. the results can be disheartening to say the least. with the plethora of materials available and each with its own distinct cost factor, usually the more expensive "exotic" type materials have better overall performance. but like zkindaguy said, plain old rubber hoses do their job just fine. it would be neat to see carbon or fiberglass boxes like Mugen makes for hondas!

Have you ever seen the Password JDM intake for the S2000? Something like that would be cool. Expensive, but they it sounds like they put a lot of engineering in the design and nice materials.

Carbon fiber piping works well in terms of mitgating heat however the carbon pipe over time has a problem of sliding out of place at its connecting intersection with the intake plenum from vibrations because of the carbon-fiber smoothness. If it wasn't for that one flaw the use of carbon-fiber would be more prevalent in the making of the piping.
