Default Custom Intake Setup Using 304 Stainless

Has anyone designed and used 304 stainless as their 3 inch piping for their NA built motor before? Assume this would be wrapped in header wrap to shield away from the heat of the engine. Is there any detrimental effects to using this type of stainless steel in lieu of aluminum such as the AEM CAI?

Thanks,

Mike

we've used them on quite a few cars. other than its a little heavier than aluminum we havent seen any hp differences on the dyno.

the only effects is the heat disapation between the aluminum vs steel. what the differences is or would be i dont know, but i cant imagine it being drastic.
