Price has everything to do with quality and end result. When you consider the overall gains, materials, testing, and who made this Intake, the price won't matter much. This Intake is not for everyone, I understand. You have the proof now against one other manufacturer; Stillen. Their product is half the price but on a dyno run, overall can't compete.

I only offer another option. Top Secret is just simply one of the best choices you can make if money is not an option.

Increased HP definitely may warrant higher prices, but unless I missed something both here and on your website, I don't see even a dyno by you, much less an independent dyno.

If you mean for 2x price, then I'd say "Increased" HP better be 2x the competition... So say +50 HP? That sounds about right...

yeah, I may chip in $1100 for those gains.

But seriously:

"When you consider the overall gains, materials, testing, and who made this Intake, the price won't matter much."

1.We don't know the gains
2. Is the idea that your materials are far superior to stillen? What are these costly materials? It can't be quantity, because your pipes are less than half the piping of stillen's system.
3. Testing? So you do have dyno sheets to provide?

Also, I know it's just Wikipedia, but I found this hilarious:
"However, the term "cold air intake" is often used incorrectly to describe an air filter system with an exposed filter in the engine bay, which actually increases the temperature of the air entering an engine."
