I don't mean to point out the irony of this post, but, just in case you weren't kidding: You do realize "plastic" is a polymer, right?
Polymer isn't an actual substance. It's a phrase used to describe many, many types of molecules. Using the word "plastic" in place of "polymer" is a common mistake, but not altogether wrong. What is altogether wrong, though, is trying to make someone feel stupid when you yourself don't even know what you're talking about.
LOL STOOOPID IT'S NOT PLASTIC, IT'S POLYMER LOLOLOL

To go even farther OT, "carbon fiber" is technically carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Epoxy is a polymer.
A properly designed polymer intake is nothing to turn your nose up at just because there were issues when the technology first hit mass production several years ago. Developments in materials science can happen quite quickly.... who knows we could have mass produced polymer engine blocks every bit as strong as aluminum, yet lighter and cheaper to mfg in 10 years.

umm, that intake is a thermoplastic. in particular its Nylon66. called tradename zytel.
it is constructed with presofteners and then friction welded.
A major class of polymers known as thermoplastics may be remelted, as opposed to thermosets, which form irreversible crosslinks between polymer chains. Within the thermoplastics category, there are amorphous and crystalline polymers. Amorphous polymers have random orientation of their polymer chains, whereas crystalline polymers form highly ordered crystal structures within an amorphous matrix. The term semi-crystalline polymers is used for polymers containing both crystalline and amorphous regions.
Because they maintain excellent strength and toughness during exposure to hot, aggressive automotive fluids and to hot air whether humid or dry, high performance polyamides (HPPA) can make durable, functional components for automotive thermal management and other demanding applications. review the basic chemistry of polyamides and how the HPPA family differs from standard nylon. It focuses on semi-aromatic HPPA polymers known as polyphthalamides

So, you came back to prove you can copy and paste from:
http://www2.dupont.com/Plastics/en_U...epaper_R8.html
Ironically, you have just proven (using big words you likely have no grasp of, considering your previous post) yourself wrong.

cutting and pasting a dupont paper is perfectly acceptable to prove a point.
i have two degrees. manufacturing engineering technology and computer science from Austin Peay state. quit looking like a jackass and restating the obvious to attempt to make youeself look knowledgable. its unbecoming of an adult.

Thanks for the debate guys, I feel really up-to-date on my materials science theories now.
Can we get back on-topic?

came "back"? this was my first comment. you think you are the only one anywhere who might know something about polymers, copolymers, vinyl ester, polyesters, etc.

Hey now, no reason to lash out at me. It was an honest mistake, I mistook you for the "alloybullitt" guy, who was the one making fun of people when he had no idea what he was talking about.
My apologies for the confusion!

Very impressive, Rick! I think you already know what my early Christmas present to myself is going to be. I'm still debating on whether a CAI will be worth the money, especially since I'm plan on adding a Whipple supercharger in a year or two.

Seriously, what's amazing to me is that plastics technology has yet to develop a substitute cartilage which I can use to replace what's left of the crap in my knees.
