If your IC is efficient at cooling the air, you will have more trouble with alluminum heatsoaking off the engine etc. SS works much like shielded piping, keeps the cool air in the pipe and the hot air from heat soaking. SS is more expensive than alluminum typically also which is why you see less of it. Alluminum is much easier to work with but it is inferior to SS or even shielded steel for IC piping.
