In a perfect world this is true but there are other considerations to take into account. Time to develop a better intake verses return on investment, expertise of designers, cost of manufacture, suppliers pricing (that is, does oem make the part them selves or subcontracted to an external supplier), does the engine still meet emission requirements at 200,000 kilometers? (or what ever Euro 4/5 is ).
Here it is again. I know you already know this but it may have slipped from memory. Ready?
Compromise.
