It didn't seem like mine even weighted 15 lbs total. Aluminized Steel.

does heat affect the aluminum piping at all? i thought that aluminum heat had a drop off at like 300-400 degrees where it began to soften, so does anyone with aluminum piping run into that prob?

there wont be enough heat to do anything to the aluminum piping if its used as intercooler piping... even on the hottest day.
