My new HPS post MAF tubes installed

I doubt there would be much difference unless is was substantially thicker, but that would make it very difficult to install. Silicone does not conduct heat well, so as soon as air velocity increases, the internal temperatures of the tubes cool quickly regardless of how hot they feel on the outside. I am curious to see how long it takes the long tube intakes with metal piping to recover from heat soak. I expect it to take much longer for the temperatures to drop and they probably will never get as cold as the stock or HPS temperatures due to the long metal pipes. The stock positioning of air draw is ideal for getting cold air in without water ingestion issues.
