I don't know that you would see a terribly large benefit from it but i would think that running aluminum on the hot side of the IC and SS on the cold/TB side of the IC would benefit you with some extra heat dissipation. I doubt it would be that beneficial to mess with but has anyone had any experience with that?

I use an aluminum bend just post AFM....the airflow from my NACA duct cools it signifigantly to the touch. The MS bend to the compressor is noticably warmer.
Then coming off the turbo I have MS piping to the intercooler but a short section of aluminum straight that passes right over the ducts in the chin spoiler. That too is signifgantly cooler than the MS bend just prior to it (kinda like a pre-cooler).
I believe in MS or Alunimum for hotside, due to radiating properties (help cool before the IC) and SS or silicone on the coldside for insulating properties (help retain the chill).
