Well I could reduce the cost of mine significantly if I did not provide silicone couplers, SS clamps and the BOV cap, but then it would not be much of a "kit" would it?

So as you can see from 2a+ron's explanation of the cost of couplers alone the extra cost is justified, and that coming from a "competitor". Maybe you should do a little research before you type FrestyleReaction.

i dont need to do research....cause has said he can tailor his TID to needs

I would never ask for $150 for mine! Even though the cost of the silicon is high, I think thats just asking for too much for the product. I would sell them under $100 for sure. I'm not trying to start a price war or anything, I just think that is too high. Looks like a good quality product though.

i'm gonna be 100% honest. i went to the local speed shop. my friend and i bought a honda cold air intake kit from APC. it had EVERYTHING correct silicone couplers, everything for $60...........maybe we just lucked out like i did but hey sometimes luck is on your side. just keep that in mind. i'm pretty sure those $150 TID's aren't flying out the door

That is where you are wrong Vosko, I can't make enough of them. I am constantly making more. And if I remember correctly you emailed me about buying one about a year ago, but Ito slapped one together for you.

i was interested in the piece.........until we made one out of parts found in ito's shop. what can i say its good to have a trust worthy and top notch rotary mechanic 20 minutes away

i haven't seen one person with your TID on a car..... anyway. if you are selling a bunch more power to you

the only reason i wouldnt buy one of those is because, welllll, its not too pretty

rethink youre price and youre design.....for 100 bucks with a nice smooth flowing pipe itll be a good sale

but seriously rethink youre design - not to sound mean - its ugly.....its a pipe with 4 tight bends in it...

i dont know....its just an ugly piece....
