Default Stainless Air Intake Pipe

Has anyone ever used a stainless air intake pipe similar to what the A&A kit uses on their kits? I'd like to find one to replace the plastic air bridge I use with my Blackwing filter.

Interested in this as well. Been thinking about fabricating from PVC.

Metal holds heat, cold air = more power. Is this short path enough to make a difference, can't say. Besides weight and cost I think there's a good reason to use plastic.

Honestly it wouldn't be that difficult if you take some measurements and find out what size and bend you need:
