At least the intake does not weigh too much and I attend a few of the GTG which I could bring them over the boarder.

Here is the problem I am having with reproduceing these intakes.

As I posted... a friend and I made the one that is on my car. The intake Works good, Looks great, No issues at all with performence. So there is no problem there. The parts and know how is strait forward and simple. No problems there either. I have a fulltime job so I am not looking to make a living selling these intakes. This is where an issue rises. My friend is a mechanic with his own little shop and is doing ok and wants to charge big bucks for these intakes. That does not sit too well with me considering I know exactly what they cost to make and the amount of time it takes to make one. I am not going to rip anyone off so thats why I have not proceeded finishing these. I started to make 2 of them in my garage and they turned out good but need just some finishing touchs. It is so much easier and most of all faster to make them in his shop. As of right now I have my intake on my car and thats where it is going to stay unless you want to see a bunch of these intakes on ebay for around $800 plus everything that goes along with buying from ebay. Instead of around $500 compleat how I would like to see them be sold and I could just bring them to the GTG's and install them on the cars if thats what a customer wanted. We have not argued about makeing these and we both want to, but it comes down to the price. If I make them myself it will be a PITA for me alone. If he helps make them prepare to spend alot of money. So... I dunno...
