ALL good businesses charge exactly the highest amount they can without losing more sales than they displace with the extra profits. If they could charge more they would in a second. All their, R&D, and legal work, and most importantly advertising, is eventually passed on to the end consumer so companies that advertise more like HKS always charge more. Look at ALDI's they don't run sales, they don't advertise, hell they don't even have shelves, but everthing at an aldi's is dirt cheap even though it is regular quality brand new food just like at your local grocery store. If HKS didn't have fan-boys they would be hard pressed selling half what they do.

I think some of you just like to argue, you bash the HKS intake whos been in business for years and is a major tuner in japan (ask the supras) yet some are in defense of the Volk replicas who god knows where they are built. Makes no sense

Is HKS expensive, sure they are, but theyve earned the right to be as you know your getting a quality part

Lol, that has nothing to do with that outrageous price for an intake. I wouldn't drop $649 for a short ram that's been proven to FAIL time and time again by other companies for the 370. Give me the stillen G3 intakes. Proven power. Proven quality. Polished is enough bling for me.
