Come on, guys!
How hot do you think the intake air can be and still have the motor run???

I was really wondering about that as well--and also doubting the required
strength...

The air doesn't stick around long enough to GET hot...it's moving past
in a hurry. However, the plenum is in direct mechanical contact with
the hot parts of the engine. The airflow will help cool it, but
there're still parts in direct contact.
