[QUOTE="DropTopPony, post: 48840, member: 7995"] Being plactic composite is actually a good thing...weight savings and no heat soak. LSx engines also have plastic composite intakes and you don't hear of them having issues because they were designed better. Ford just made a huge design error with the front coolant crossover and alternator hookup that caused cracks. If a company made a better plastic intake i bet it would work and sell great...Think of what people do to save 40lbs of weight...like new Kmembers etc that cost $1500 + so if we had a really good aftermarket plastic intake that made hp and kept the extra weight off that would be perfect for 90% of us. The 10% being those who run wet nitrous kits :) [/QUOTE]
