hard intake pipe
I would like to know what is the advantage of using an aluminium hard intake instead of a steel one. Is it only a question of wheight?
Is there a difference in the temperature that the air is going to be inside the pipe?
I am thinking about doing my own "M2" pipe with mendrel bend exhaust pipe
what do you think about that?

I think the only big difference is gonna be weight. But with that small of a pipe even that will be neglegeable. I dont think that the intake temp will be effected much, If anything the charge may actually be cooler with a steel pipe. because the aluminum pipe would pick up more of the heat fom the engine bay. Due to better heat transfer properties.

If you are going to try to fab your own from steel, use thin wall conduit - Exhaust pipe is much too heavy and would require mounting brackets to keep it from banging around under the hood and damaging the intake box & turbo etc.
