My question is, is the intake tube plastic or metal? J & P wants $399 and this one is $226. Hence the question.

The tube is is aluminum and polished,. not chrome.all the hardware and mounting plate is chrome.It works great and looks good.

It is metal. It is a nice product, but the finish on the tube is slightly wavy. Not bad but could be better. The red filter turns gray after a few weeks.

the body is not metal but it's very well built, chrome finish on plastic body. The metal body ones are available but much more expensive. I wondered if it would hold up myself but the price is so good I thought I'd give it a go.

Hi,It is still except the part where the motor is which is plastic. But the part that blends is metal. Hope this help.

Im pretty sure it is all plastic.I am a little disappointed with the quality because of how expensive it is.With that said - I have had this for about a year now and although it needs cleaning (soak in vinegar) it has been working really nicely especially at low flows.The switch for flow settings is really tight - the only functional flaw I could find.It is cheaply made - does anyone make a full metal shower head these days!?

It is chromed plastic. the inner workings have to have some metal due to the weight of the whole unit, but it is sturdy and made well. It sits right between the forks on my motorcycle, so it gets all the wind right over it, and even with the horrible roads in Tucson, AZ it has held up well. Sounds GREAT!!!!!! as well.

It's been awhile, but if I remember correctly it was all plastic, (the engagement dogs that contact the flywheel cup that's included) I'd rather have all metal also, but it did function well, so I installed it and hope it lasts......

The rest of the tank is plastic I found it to be a good buy .....the air soft pellets are not soft they will hurt you..... only problem front wheel came loose...easy fix

Metal does conduct heat more than plastic so it would naturally get hotter than the plastic that k& n uses....it's expensive but it'll last a lifetime with the proper care of the filter

This is hard plastic not metal. Seems to work great though with no leaks or dripping. Descent quality! Good luck to you!

the item is metal. However i had a very hard time getting a tight fit on both ends. it leaks a little at head and base. And the adjustable areas are hard to get to hold their position. Not the best product for +$50.

If you mean the tube at the bottom with the cap YES it is metal. The tube and the bottom where the bellows attaches is one piece. That little bit of tube that sticks out of the back has a small metal rod that pulls out that I assume is for unclogging or clearing the long part of the tube. At least that's what I use it for. Hope this helps.

It is plastic like the original, I actually think it is a oem, but the entire unit is dipped in chrome. Looks way better than stock, does not look like a cheap ricer add on.

I think it's metal incased in a plastic coating. Very good unit, I highly recommend it.

April 23, 2014. Ms. LeeJai Cook, Roaring Springs TEXAS.Hello, MTC. I just now examined the valve control levers.They are not metal. On the other hand, they do not look likeordinary plastic. They feel more like some kind of rubber.I hope this helps.Best wishes.

My lid was thin metal with a foam bottom, the intake itself is ABS plastic, I have had mine almost 5 years. I would call there tech support if you need to know how they are constructed now.

it's metal. we had ours outside most of the summer. as long as it doesn't freeze w/ fluid in it you're good.

Both made of metal and solid plastic good quality though.. I bought two of this but one seems not to be as fluid as the other.. For the price is a good choice
