I don't know how Autoexe stays in business. They really need to focus on the fact that they're making mods for a $20,000 car, not a $35,000+ car and the fact that they're not the only ones that are making parts for the MS3. I thought mods for my S2000 were expensive. I guess that's what you pay for "JDM Yo!".

This intake has been around for awhile and for that amount of cash I don't know if I want any further "incensement of engine displacement." My feeling is that my engine is already pretty incensed. If it got any more pissed off that would not be a good thing, and could lead to warranty issues.
On the other hand, I do like the fact that, "the sound of air taken in that you can hear even inside the car is comfortable, and in particular that "your feelings of driving also run high."

For sure, there is no way it costs $700 to import a $200 intake. That is funny.

Flying to Tokyo, even from LA, is a bit more expensive than $700. More like $1,150 on American Airlines.

Okay thats probably true but the point of the fact is NO INTAKE is worth $700 also if I did take a trip to japan I WOULD be bring a shyt load more parts then just an intake, maybe say a Skyline R34

$930 for an intake? Serious? What is that, like $190 per HP? Do YOU think it's worth that?
Honestly...the only way I could see this being worth the price is if you have more money to spend than you know what to do with, and you wanted to build an MS3 with a bunch of rare parts that nobody else has.
