Cold air intake? How you figure? It's sucking air right off the engine.

Price is kinda steep

Considering these short rams have proven minimal gains on the Z, if not HP losses, yeah, you could say that's a tad pricey.

Swat Performance 04-11-2010 04:24 PM

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."

Top Secret Intake
 
I appreciate your opinion, however, here is your proof:

Top Secret makes nothing just because. If Top Secret makes a product, they take everything into consideration and begin to create something that is simply better. I applaude Top Secret for taking the time to manufacture something that is simply overall....the best for your car.

It is my love and my passion to find and offer the best quality products, best customer service and continual proven overall performance results for you the USA Customer. :tup:

Thanks Ken,
I wasn't really stating an opinion as much as looking for information. 5 extra hp is nothing scoff at. I don't know if 5 extra hp makes it worth more than double the price of the stillen, but I do understand that for some, having the best product available is worth the extra loot. I'm sure the ease of install may be something people take into consideration. No hard feelings :tiphat:

Hey Frost,

I really appreciate your imput! BTW, I love what you drive ( My Wife Crazy ), that is awesome!

The coolest thing about modding is that everyone has imput. Without it companies would never know if customers like their products or not. The reason I love Top Secret so much is because I know Smoky Nagata and he stands for perfection and loves people. Therefore I stand behind him and his company, not to mention to be able to get 5 additional true real horsepower out of an Intake is pretty amazing, Lol.

Thanks again Frost!!!

I'd still love to know how this short intake design is different from, say...the HKS Suction Reloaded ones. I can appreciate "design secrets", but when it doubles the price of the next competitor, there had better be a VERY good reason for it.

I think they already answered the question regarding why the intake is double the price.

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

This must be the Gucci of intakes made by a master ninja. There can't be much in the way of design secrets when you are talking about a metal tube and a foam filter.

XwChriswX 04-12-2010 11:56 AM

:iagree: I can buy metal tubes from AutoZone that are the same dimentions... And slap a Top Secret sticker on it, can I then sell it for such an extreme price as well?

A name may be well respected, but that doesnt justify this much of a spike... :ugh2:
