Top secret full titanium intake

The real reason they cost as much as they do is the name, the materials, and importing. I don't doubt they work well, but better than a CAI, maybe because it uses foam racing filters and dyno'd with the hood open.

These are definitely amazing, titanium, carbon fiber, great short tube design, it's worth it to the right people, others not so much.

Damn these are sweet, I really want them. Not sure if I should part with the cash right now. Plus shipping to Florida would be killer.

i looked at the thread for the comparison of these and the G3's not very impressive. nothing against the seller/OP but who would ever pay 2300 new or whatever used when stillen's are 500 with almost identical gains? these look amazing but at that price? you can get LTH and stillen g3's for less and have more power.

no brand name is worth 1500+ more for intakes in my opinion but GLWS and enjoy the TT kit

We can talk about best bang for buck mods and go on and on. Its not about who spends the least amount of money and getting the most power. obviously this intake isnt for you either.
And if you want to discuss more, feel free to pm me.

according to that thread it made 5WHP/4WTQ more and i didnt see any dyno sheets either. my intakes make a good bit of HP without costing 2 grand.

i'm not trying to take away from these at all just curious as to why they go for so much is all.

Of course, I am happy that you made that much power with your intake purchase.
same with buying replica body parts and wheels. Looks identical, but why spend more?

So pm me instead of striking my for sale thread with discussion.

That's exactly what you're trying to do. If you have questions about performance gains and cost/value see the thread posted on that. Don't use the OPs for sale thread to bash the cost/power ratio, post it in the aforementioned thread.

these intakes arent for everyone.... obviously the price of these intakes are 4 times that of a gen 3 intakes or whatever kind of intakes their are for our z's.... if you dont want to spend the money for these intakes just move on... why bash it and complain its 2k? rain is already offering it at a wonderful price and its complete with no defects, scratches.... other than these are super hard to locate, i guarantee that youll wait 2-3 months for them to arrive once you order them.

what you really pay for is the name, rarity, and obviously bling factor at a show im pretty sure there are only a handful of these in the US Ill bet you that when you pop your hood and you got these intakes EVERYONE will drool... you wanna huge hp gain? go get a turbo or supercharger
