Anyway, its still 500$ for these short ram intakes....how is it that people dont see how extemely overpriced parts are for these cars? Its a cheap metal pipe with a MAF mount welded on. Woopty do!
I can agree with a lot of what you are saying, but the R2C's look like a top quality set-up. If they were just another SRI, it wouldn't have almost exactly the same numbers as the Stillen's which are also over 500.00 on the G37 dynos.
