Great post!! Only intake mods can get 11kw. Same as turbo. Hehee...
yknow looking at the CAI, i dont see anything thats so spectacular about the set-up. mandrel bent SS 2" piping.. what type of filter is attached to the end? i dont doubt the results though, just wonder why such a product is so expensive.
most exhaust shops will be able to throw a set-up together for under $200 easily.
but i guess for those results, the cost is justifiable.

Dyno Dave & I have said time & time again, the length & diameter of an intake is critical.
The injen works because the hard yards have been done & it's an already dyno proven product.
The slapped together backyard intake or houso exhaust shop intake, really doesn't come even close. (In both terms of performance & fit & finnish)
To go better you need to either develop your own on the dyno or purchase something that performs as well.
The cost of the product cover's it's purchase, freight & importation cost.
Obviously those selling it are making money, else they'd not be selling it.
The cost of manufacturing something covers more than the actual bone cost of production. It also pays for the development & intelectual property of the bloke who made it in the first place.
ay how much did the whole setup for the injen cost?
$670 fitted and dyno sheet mate!
$67 / KW................ :thumbsup:
