Re: sheetmetal better than This was my only comment in that thread...
"Looks great for high HP applications. I think plastic would be best for most people."
As far as the KABOOM!!!ing intakes...tune your setup right and this shouldn't be a concern.

Re: sheetmetal better than hehe. sorry colonel i guess i should check my sources a little closer before i post them 
so is there any advantage of having a sheetmetal intake as opposed to a plastic one? and why would you have to jet up like NineBall said?

Re: sheetmetal better than I don't know what Nineball meant about that. I think he was just playfully saying that the NA guys should get their way on the intake design since the bottle babies can just pill it up.
All else being equal (dimensions being the same) I see no advantage to a metal intake for nitrous use other than physical strength which shouldn't matter if you don't backfire. Now forced induction...that might be a different story.
