nismo cold air intake comming soon?

I dont get why Nissan does this, put out performance parts that underperform relative to the competition at a premium cost. I feel like more people would be inclined to purchase the very expensive Nismo performance parts (to keep their cars 'Nissan') if they were at least comparable in the gains they put out.

I guess Nissan just isnt in the business of performance parts, but isnt Nismo? Do other car companies do the same?

the same way Dinan charges $3000 for a BMW 335 engine tune that give about half what a $700 JB3 tune will give you

but you keep the full factory warranty with the Dinan system

Nissan does it for the people who freak out about mods that their warranty wont be honored.
Its kinda dumb but if people will pay, why not do it

Pretty much every manufacturer does the same thing.

R tune parts are for off-road use and don't come with warranty. I'm pretty sure the intake is a remanded 3rd party like injen. A guy posted a pic of the intake in another thread.
