Why? Plastic = lighter and won't heat soak like metal.

Brian beat me to it, but yeah, the plastic intake manifolds are fine.
Keep up the good work Ramey, I've always wanted to get a Fit, I just never really went through with it.

The only issue ive personally ever seen with plastic manifolds was on a S/C'd G35. Guy warped the flange causing a bad vacuum leak. But that was also at 20+lbs of boost, and the motor grenaded
