I dont know much about intakes but would the metal intake not get hot after the car has been running for a while making for increased IAT?

That's what the nitrous is for.

Increased airflow into the TB. Car now has a 4" to 4".

Argumentative but technically, yes. Enough to worry about? No. K&N, and many other companies, offer an aluminum version for appearance reason. In fact; the Steeda kit that was on the car was 40% aluminum to begin with.

At least the car has some kind of airflow through the engine. The GTO's have none and are well sealed with the hood down making most aftermarket intakes useless. Pretty much the only one worth a damn is a Svede which is an over the radiator intake, takes 4+ months to get, and requires hacking shit up.
