...They sell for $379 which is a bit steep for an intake but considering the CNC maf housing I know that’s a bit of work for setup and making them all so that’s worth some money plus all the R&D testing it etc.. it seems pretty good....

Don't let the words "CNC" make you think it's some high-fallutin-fancy-schmancy-expensive part. It's a freaking piece of metal with a few holes welded onto some tubing.
I could have that "CNC" part + the tube + welding + paint manufactured at any machine shop with a Swiss tool for around $6.00 total at quantities of 50-100. Over 100 it would drop drastically.
The whole thing looks like it could be manufactured and assembled for around $50.00 - probably $25.00. If people are willing to spend $379.00 for that - I'm in the wrong business....
Regardless - I'd love a new intake....
