Considering the air still has to go through the turbo and intercooler, is a metal vs plastic intake tube really going to make much difference though? This is something I'm honestly curious about.

I'm currently debating btwn the AFE Stage 2 w/Pro-Dry S or the AEM Workhorse. We've got an AEM Brute Force kit on our Jeep TJ and have been happy with it, and from the pics in this thread it looks like the filter AEM uses in their Workhorse kit is larger than what AFE uses, but I like the fact that AFE's intake tube is plastic vs metal because of concerns about heat transfer to the intake air... so I'm wondering how much of a difference could it really make??
