What do you think would happen if my company, Swat Performance, called Injen Technology, Steve Millen at Stillen, HKS and Tanaka and others and told them what I was going to do and if they would be willing to send me one of their Intakes so I could put them on a 370Z and run them against Top Secret to prove that Top Secret has developed the highest quality, fitment and overall gains Intake? Lol.
I think they would say no, but thank you anyways. Do you agree?
I actually think that this is a brilliant idea and if I had the money, would!

I think they as the developers and the people behind the lines developing their product would like to prove that their efforts weren't in vain. I'm simply promoting grounds to back the Claim of 'Perfection' as TS is saying in this, and in a few other of their products. If it is perfect, what did they do differently that the other guys just completely overlooked...

I don't care how much it is, if its a significant part, then of course, I'll fork out whatever I have to to have the best. But I want something fact based, not 'we're better than you because we're from where we are' type statements.

Also I think any such contest would help your business as it would attract many peoples attention who might simply scoff at this based on the price. If they see them all laid out side by side and there is a CLEAR reason why TS is so much better, I doubt you will have a problem getting them off your shelves. Hell I'd donate my Z for a bone stock intake only comparison since that's what we're after. Not which intake does the best with additional mods, but simply which intake alone is the best.

Like most things in life, Brand name plays a big roll and carries a price tag itself. Arguing against that is pointless.

My wife wants a $2000 Louis Vuitton purse, which I'll buy her next week(and it'll make her extremely happy). Would there be a point in explaining to her to buy a Walmart brand for $30? I mean, its made of leather too, has zippers and carries her wallet and makeup.

I agree not every chic can afford a $2k purse but almost all of them want one.

Happiness > *


PS Smoky was at Import Reactor in Houston last week. If anyone really wanted to know about the intakes, they could have come and asked in person. I appreciate a healthy debate on the forums but what would be the point of an intake shootout (besides didnt Baker Nissan do this already?). Besides Top Secret being a more prestigious brand than Injen, Stillen etc, their engineering skills/experience is greater. I dont think a couple of HP gains will swing buyers one way or another. Of course not, this is just an intake. People will buy what they like/can afford regardless of the results of the intake comparison. The main issue here is price, not HP gains.
Happiness is one thing, but how happy are you when you see your wallet go from $$$ to ...

But not all of us can make it to events such as that, and all we're asking for is the companies like Swat who are very reputable, and have good relations with the manufacturers to do a little legwork and bring us good data so we can decide what we want. Price be damned.
