I made my own intake, when i talked about it on the forum here saskins started in with he has a paten and i should not steal his design or he would have to take legal action. I asked him how do you paten a pipe with a filter someone else makes on the end. He supplied no paten numbers.

Anything custom is going to cost more than a mass produced product due to time involved.
However you should get what you paid for as advertised.
Hope you get your money back as you obviously feel you didn't get what you were SOLD.
