While that is a very helpful explanation, that doesn't fully address the concerns about heat. The structure of a material while cool is far different than the structure of the same material while hot, especially considering how hot these engines get.

It is less concerning considering it has been designed for motorsport applications (as referenced in the video) however I would like more specifics as to how this will standup to high heat, especially considering there have been heat-related failures in other plenums (adhesives for example).
Agreed. Intense heat due to it sitting directly on top of an engine that redlines at 8400rpm. Also, the constant heat/cool cycles seems like they can weaken the structure and/or any adhesives.

Hopefully we can get a confirmation that at least the 5yr warranty covers this concern.

Also, is the warranty transferable?
