Man, $1000 for some intake piping. I'm sure it will show gains, and for everyone trying to push this platform to the limit, I get why every part adds up, but hard for me to justify $1000 for intake plumbing, $1000 for IC. But it does look super cool.

As we speak he's mocking up an accusump oil kit to help alleviate the oil issues we have on the platform. The kit will precondition the engine before start and also releases oil when the oil pressure drops (common issue especially on higher performance applications). He's also mocking up a front strut bar and catch can that can go with the intake offering. He's also making me a nice looking coolant reservoir bc the stock one is hideous but not sure if that's a one off or not.

Brett is incredibly talented and offers very fair prices for the quality of materials and workmanship compared to the competition (just look at downpipes comparisons). The intake is the price it is because of materials and time to fabricate. As pointed out, it will do more for you the more you do in terms of performance mods.

People will always complain about the price...but they never do anything themselves to offer anything cheaper or better. Same with the rear hitch covers...

Agreed. Do you know if the 1000.00 is for the intake and charge pipes?

I’ve reached out but no response as of yet. Definitely ready to buy.

Curious where 1,000 came from? He never shared prices with anybody. The intake will be around $800 and still working on charge pipe pricing.

That’s why I ask. I haven’t heard or seen anything so I was curious myself.

I really need to create a build thread...

Engine bay progress! May add color to strut bar and charge pipes.

Is Brett gonna start cranking out the strut bars? I definitely want one of those. Looks like he used a readily available bar and fabbed the mounts...smart man.

This batch is all pre-order! Then onto next round right after. The BOV is housed in the charge pipes (not intake) but you’ll need to buy aftermarket if you go that route.
