Stillen vs. Smoky: your take on intakes

I'm just going to answer your price question for now. The fact that the Top Secret intake is made in Japan has a lot to do with it. Start factoring

I'm just going to answer your price question for now. The fact that the Top Secret intake is made in Japan has a lot to do with it. Start factoring in things like echange rate from Yen to $, shipping and import taxes and those are things that bump the price which have nothiing to do with the design.

If you have a vendor that's going to bring in a lot, then you can spread the duty and shipping over more product and bring the price down. I would think you could probably buy/offer it at a better price too since i'm sure any manufacturer would give you a price break at a certain quantity. If you are buying one at a time you (the customer) are paying for everything.
