17hp? $400??? That sound like a lot of power and a lot of cash.

Talk about an F'in rip off. Seriously, an intake that cost almost 4 bills. I've spent thousands with SMS and now refuse to pay that much with them. Hopefully they haven't got their greasy hands on an exclusive deal with K&N. I'll see if my contact guy can get it for me way cheaper. I'm all about supporting the all Saturn suppliers, but not at that price...

Where is this info on the SMS site? I can't seem to find anything on it.

It's a good thing there are other companies working on a CAI. This is probably a mod I'll hold off on until others release thier CAI and there is a little competition. The price will be sure to drop after AEM and Injen release theirs. I've never seen a regular CAI over $250 for any GM I've owned. As soon as someone gets one, give me dimensions (lengths, degrees bent, etc) and I'll see if i can get someone to mandrel bend 3" alumimum or Stainless piping. The only way i could see spending $400 is if this one of their typhoon or FIPK kits

yea 400 is alot for any intake, i mean it's almost as much as the headers

[JPK]

Yeah, that price is fucking ridiculous.

They know that they'll be the first one to release it and that we are all hungry for parts. It's still bullshit though.

I'm just gonna get the SCdyne intake, which Adam has told me that everyone who was in on the 15 original header purchases, will be able to purchase at cost as a thanks for all our patience. He told me the price we can get one for and it's a HELLUVA deal.

17 hp is out of sight..................if they can prove with dyno numbers than i feel that $400 is not overpriced.

Cant wait to see more info on this from K&N

[GaRsNoW]

they'll get the idea when no one buys the damn thing.

i'm going to see what price i can get, check in on the group buy thread for this, it'll be cheaper than what SMS will sell it for, guaranteed...
