Who would honestly pay $2000 for an Intake?

If by posers you mean dudes with tons of disposable income.

And by 7 elevens you mean big car shows.

And by neon LED(s) you mean lots of "show" (and go) mods that together probably cost as much as the cars original price.

Then yep. That's likely the market for these intakes.

I for one applaud show peeps for the aesthetic services they provide to my eyes and the community at large. Lols.

mr. tgo, i completely agree. anyway, survival of the fittest. they will trip up on their own and crash.

i see it all the time. $4000 TE37's/CE28N's, tons of money dropped on the motor and suspension, and then a ******* hankook or nankang label on the tires.
