I think I want one too---do you think that is a K&N filter on the end? What do make of the blue tape/bands on the intake tube?

It does seem ridiculous considering price, but isn't bee racing well respected in Japanese Circuit racing?

who cares if theyre respected or not. It is wayyy overpriced for a pipe. Hell i bet a regular aluminum pipe that has been jet hot coated or wrapped would out perform this intake.

The weight the titanium cuts down isnt even noticable

i dont think it's just the weight...titanium is a better insulator than aluminum which will reduce the temperature of the air entering the plenum; however, for 1300 bucks i doubt the advantages are worth it.

I can think of a lot more things to get than a $1300 intake pipe. That is all BS 9hp my eye even if it was true that is still more than a BIT PRICEY. Rediculous!
