he's correct. High grade titanium is unable to bend. you have to have a much lower grade softer metal to bend pipes like that. so if you see titanium that is bent, its probably pretty low grade and cheap

Well gotta work with what we have. unfortunately we don't have a 2.5 inch titanium intake with no bends under $1,000 that are long tubes.

First off you sound ridiculous. People like you are the reason tuners and other companies aren’t running to our cars to support them. The other titanium intake option is 2200 bucks. I'm not after the highest gains so dude please don’t consultant me about where my money should go. I wasn’t paying for the gain's of the unit's I’m paying for the fact that they are titanium and that’s what I want period case closed. People are starving in Africa? really but yet again you bought a 370z? The price for these intakes are irrelevant I saved for them I knew these were coming out months a head of time. For those who buy the meisterschaft system purely on sound it’s no different. When you buy titanium you're gonna pay period nobody should be surprised.

AMEN brotha....... At the end of the day you get what you pay for and you do what makes you happy. Being different and unique is a good thing. I bought my Meisterschaft exhaust b/c I loved the sexy arse sound it makes. Yeah I could have gone with something else that was a lot cheaper and squeezed out more hp, but I didn’t and I have no regrets.

I’m curious about the TI CAI though. I would think that the TI CAI would sound a little bit different since they are TI vs. stainless steel. I know that TI exhausts (assuming same exhaust) will sound a bit different compared to a stainless steel exhaust.

Once again mad props on the TI CAI and they look EFFEN clean. I had to look at the pics several more times b/c the look it just purely different. You are the very first person to my knowledge with TI CAI and do not let anyone put you down on your purchase. Remember people are always going to hate and be jealous of what others might have.

Great upgrade my friend....some follow the herd, some lead their own path......I like the leader in you for trying something new.

I just have to add my 2 cents:
for all of the non performance mods we do to our cars, like paint, aftermarket wheels that actually weigh more than the stock forged wheels, body kits, air suspensions, wrong fitment tires, and the list goes on.
I really don't see anything wrong with offering a real titanium intake system, that is only a few hundred dollars more than a standard name brand cold air intake.
And for the people that think the piping diameter is too small: it is the same size as Stillen( enough said )
The system looks great, it is high quality with a high quality name brand filter,and it performs just as well as other bigger brand's cold air intakes on the market.

Profit from first intake sold should be enough to pay for a back to back power pull on a stock vs intakes installed? Did I miss the dyno numbers somewhere in this thread? Not knocking the look, simply AMAZING, but some dyno numbers for the price shouldn't be asking too much I would think.
