RICE ROCKET!!! ;) j/k.

That's a nice intake. I couldn't pull myself to drilling a 3" hole for a PR CAI so I wound up getting the Injen quasi-CAI

$318 for a metal tube. At that price, $10 wouldn't have been an issue, I would have gone w/ the one that performed better.

BTW, does anyone have any dyno results for that thing?

My metal tube was $250.

that's what they are calling an intake? For that price I was assuming an actual intake manifold.

Why the hell are these 'intakes' so freaking expensive? I wanted to get one for my car, but it costs 250 bux. It's just a freaking metal pipe with a filter at the end.

The idea of paying 250 dollars for a GD pipe with a piece of cloth at the end is recockulous.

Don't you know anything? You're paying for thousands of hours of R&D, dyno testing, and precision engineering.. These things are specifically tuned for each vehicle to produce maximum airflow and thus the maximum possible horsepower improvement..

And if you believe that, I have a bridge I can sell you... ;)

Actually, it's funny, I have a dyno sheet that shows no real benefit for that particular $200 dollar intake.

I mean sh*t, 200 bux will buy probably buy you the whole freaking intake manifold/throttle body at a salvage yard. Well, for a 4 banger atleast. . .
