Why are aftermarket intakes so exspensive?

Can anybody tell me why aftermarket EFI intakes for SBC are soo bloody expensive? and the 5 liter mustang aftermarket intakes are more cost effective.

I was lookin for a new super ram and it seems like everybody wants at least 700+ for it. For that kind of money I'll step up to a Hogan Sheet metal intake and end the great intake debate.

it's simple demand....if you can sell 100 at 10 or 10 at 100.

how many people truly invest in thirdgens?

1/10 on the road.

if you think the superram is bad then steer completely clear of the miniram. although you must remember that you get what you pay for.
