Then I hope it's steel, that would be the easiest. I need to know because I need to know what kind of welder to use on my BOV flange

I beat mine flat with a hammer and then I mounted my bov-- It was easy. It looks perfect too and it works great- I just used the gasket that came with it. For the aluminum hard pipes that I have I will be having it welded on though(the flange) or actually a copy of the flange. You know who you should pm to ask is JAKEMONKEY. He had his flange for his greddy bov welded on and I dont think he has had any problems. The intake isnt steel-it isnt that heavy, its more like something aluminized. Search for this thread " pictures of my new bov" and you should find the whole discussion about that.

yeah but all he said was a magnet stuck to it. That means it has iron in it. Nothin else.

Maybe a carbon steel?

It's gotta be steel then. Not sure what Todd means by "not that heavy" , but I bet it weighs about 8-10 lbs. Aluminum would weigh 4-5 or so.

You could do that too. But first I gotta find out what the hell it's made out of.

Post-88-aluminum

You can tell, because the aluminum piece is cast... and the steel piece is stamped.

Any car with the T25 is aluminum
