Eh i don't think that many people would want to pay the price tag.

It does of course have to be competitive but I understand what you mean about people willing to pay over $1k for an intake, an exhaust sells for well over so i think there will be customers. If it does work out and make power you are going to have to figure out a price for say 10-20 units to start and get a group buy going across the forums and see how many sign up, take deposits for your incurred costs and build them, if it works out that way.

Yeah that might be Gruppe M or something but no normal person is going to pay it. Kind of hard when AFE has the same design for $1500 or less. It is what it is. I'll still have hope until we get the data and a price from you.

Yeah.. Looks like the same except no carbon fiber, both have injection molded air boxes housing a conical filter. I don't think you would see any difference in gains between the 2

Just make sure you don't dyno with that ridiculous Dinan hat on, or the car will surely lose power. Of course, you could just fabricate numbers...not like they would ever do that.
