Sorry if i sound really aggressive but it just makes me mad to see this I just dont see where they are getting this price point from. If anyone can give my view a 180 then it is a different story.
I would think they are getting the price from the amount of gain as compaired to other bolt on mods and with a little bit for the name.
Most intake for this platform run about $300-350 and make very minimal gains without a tune. This make larger gains without a tune and as the OP shows, makes even more with a tune (the intake will too, just not as large). It's more that just two billet spacers also, you have all the hardware that goes with it. I look at the "Bang for Buck" and not "oh, someone else can do this cheaper and steal someone else's idea. I would rather pay a bit more for this and get more gains instead of an intake and getting almost none
