if i have a chrome pipe for my Cold air intake, will that just reverse the effects of the kit or make it worse? Since metal is a conductor of heat, and plastic isnt? or am i getting to scientifically incolved
lol most of the people are just joking with you, i could care less what you do with the car, were just letting you know it gets annoying when people have a decent car and you want to throw cheapo mods on it.

For the intake, whatever will seal and look decent, your throttle body is going to get pretty warm regardless. The CAI may drop intake temps maybe 10 degrees average, which really doesnt do a whole lot for your performance. What makes a bigger difference is the size and bends on your intake piping, thats why some just put a filter on the end of the throttle body and call it good (HAI). For your N/A 3800 L26 you could probably go with anything above 3" for the intake and be fine. Just extending it over and getting the filter away from the crossover pipe would suffice, but totally up to you.
