the price im asking is what i have in the parts. if it sells fine if not ill put it on the shelf but im not giving the stuff away.
at 800$ for the needswings dual cai if the cost of the sl55 setup was only 250 i would think most would get it. but they havent due to the high cost at this time
the airboxes alone are 266$ each from the dealership # 9,10,11,12 can no longer be bought separatley. its listed as #8 and runs 178$ from the dealer
The SL55 intake flows the roughly the same as a single NW intake depending on how and who is taking the measurments so comparing it to a dual is irrelevant. As far as what it's costs are, it all depends on who you know and how much business you do with a particular vendor and your relationship with that vendor. I'm sitting on a couple things from the MB dealer because I know that returning them isn't worth jeopardizing my pricing with them because they know if they sell me something, they're never dealing with it again. I understand you may have X amount of money into this intake but it's perceived value is far lower than what you paid for it. I hate selling something knowing I didn't buy it right or I bought it right but didn't sell it at the right time and end up losing money on it but your first loss is your best loss and it's not going to go up in value sitting on a shelf. I have no need for one but even if I did, you're asking far more than the market bears. The other thing you have to ask yourself is what would something used be worth if it wasn't painted? This lowers the number of people in your audience as well. Your best bet if you're set on $400 is to offer the entire thing prepped, primed and painted the color of the buyers choosing. Someone might bite on it then. Not lambasting you by any means but you have to understand where we are coming from as well.
