ya just wanted to see what people thought of them before i went ahead and ordered them!!

Smooth tubes are a very simple thing so as long as they fit and the fasteners are quality im sure it will be fine.

My only beef is that they look like those cheap Pep Boys ricer intake pipes made out of plastic. I may be wrong, but the bulky chrome clamp at the end looks like that plastic pep boys style... Not 100% sure though. Just make sure it's all metal and no plastic parts.

looks similar to the new ones that ROE is selling:
Polished Aluminum Intake Tubes (stock throttle bodies) - 92-02 Vipers - Air Intake - Roe Racing

I personally like the silicone ones as they are pliable making em easier take on/off.

I've got those on my car right now. They're pretty high quality.. metal, not plastic. For the price, they're a great deal.

Those look just like the ones on my car, they are made out of plastic. I didn't buy them, they were already on the car when I bought it.

Plastic or metal shouldn't matter. In fact, plastic should not retain the heat as much as metal. The important thing is the bend. A lot of the early aftermarket tubes were straight and didn't fit right.

After you get them sandblast that blingy chrome crap off them.

Dammit Chuck, some of us like shiny!

Seriously though, shiny requires shining on occasion. Personally I like shiny wheels, but not under hood shiny parts. Wheels are easy to get to, under hood parts not so much.

That's the trouble I have with the metal ones and also the heat transfer. Heat is a HP killer!

Once you get 8.0L + of outside air moving rapidly thru the tubes every RPM, any heat in the tubes is GONE...... That 'heat-soak of tubes' non-issue only matters for the first few gulps of air...............the problem occurs if you are sucking in HOT air....... not sucking in cold air.
