Injens is pretty pricey also.
I think Perrin said with the Header back the Silicone tube added 4 whp when combined with the CAI also. Which IMO thats 140 dollars well spent.

Quick google search, has the Injen intake at $294, not pricey at all. AFE Takeda intake, (Same as Greedy, well respected company and the intake most tuners say its the best so far for our cars) can be had for about $275, again not pricey at all.

You have that wrong. Most people get an intake for performance, SOME people get it only for the sound. This are performance modifications, not beauty modifications. 4 whp for $450 is ridiculous. Nothing wrong with Perrin, its just that the stock intake is THAT good.

Yes, it is overpriced. Quick example is the AFE Takeda (Greedy), which can be had for about $275 and to date is the best one available (recommended by tuners like Visconti and FA20Club).
I have Perrin parts in my car and think they are AWESOME, but you have to call it what it is.. and that is overpriced.
