Air Intake Pipes
Are there any better solutions than the plastic intake pipes on the market? I have to replace one due to the flexible bit giving up the ghost and would prefer to upgrade the whole thing. It’s the m113 variety not the m113k.

Plastic is a good material for this situation. Your engine doesn’t make boost, so it doesn’t need to be very strong. The plastic is flexible and easy to remove. And plastic does not heatsoak like metal when sitting in traffic.
You can worry about alternatives when these parts become discontinued.

Yeah, I totally understand the serial modifier mindset. I switched to custom charge pipes on my C230k until I realized it was a dumb idea because it was 10x more difficult to remove compared to stock. Now I’m back to stock.
