Yea intakes are a whole different story than piping... Piping will absorb more heat because of the larger area of tubing versus just an intake manifold. Especially if you use a phenolic spacer between the manifold to cool things down. I was mainly talking about having aluminum piping near the exhaust. I guess it depends in where you are routing the tubing. I know intakes and IC are made out of aluminum but having super thin (but strong?) piping will heat up pretty quick, compared to other materials.
