Sounds like we could all just save our money and get the Turbonator!

I'm sure it's mostly a status issue. I mean, if you can afford it without issue, it's certainly an item that not many are going to have.

I'm sure there are some of you who will spend much more than is necessary on a suit or shoes, just to express your taste and to show that you can afford nicer things. Certainly, a more reasonable alternative would serve the purpose without hindering your career.

I wonder what the material cost is for that length of titanium pipe in that diameter.

When are these companies going to realize that plastic dissipates heat far better than metal when it comes to intakes?

$1400 for a filter on a stick? Hell $80 is rediculous.

SEEMS pricey? I'll have to +1 on that understatement thing!

IMHO only so don't take offense. But what kind of rice fan boy looney tunes idiot would spend $1400 on a piece of tubing!

All that so you can get the purdy blue colors? I'll bet the Z-tub weighs the same, flows the same and any good pop charger would flow the same. There's not even a heat shield.

No thanks, I'll keep my Z-tube and K & N.

I just got back from Japan. Everything is ridiculously priced. Except the Karaoke girls (about market price).
