What is your intake made of?

If it's made from chrome, probably normal. if made from aluminum or any metal with zirconium coated on there, no.

Made from chrome?

Chrome on intakes is an electroplated finish, not a composition material. The intakes are not made of a chromium alloy.

If you were just driving and popped your hood, then of course it's going to be hot. It's made of metal and sitting in an engine bay that contains a metal engine block that gets up to around 400+ degrees on the exterior, and an exhaust manifold that can peak above 1000 degrees.

That's great.. I wasn't specific, but if the intake has chrome on it, it will attract heat a lot more than an intake with only aluminum.
