How much are they if you know?
And would they be a better option than that carbon intake?

catalogue says 395 but apparently they might be 250, either way, need 10 and the problem is numbers...

Getting 10 people in maybe is possible. But it seems a bit overpriced, especially considering it isn't made from any exotic materials.

The problem is the cost.
If it were $150 or less I would be up for it, but it is ridiculously overpriced, to the extent that I wouldn't buy it out of principle

$395 is for the complete kit - air box w/ lid, pod filter, clamps etc. IMO their air box looks simple enough to make at home, and i can't imagine their filter being that much greater than say a K&N POD. I'm not sure if they sell the intake pipe separately but I don't see why they wouldn't.

I tried sending them an email a week ago but still no reply, does anyone live in Castle Hill and are able to pay them a visit and see what they can do? - as for numbers, if the price is reasonable I'm in! :D

That filter is actually a Uni filter & is rated among the best.

What I never understood though, is why they make that end of the pipe 4 inch & jam a 3 inch filter on with a step down. If you're gonna have a 4 inch pipe, put a 4 inch filter on it & make full use of the 'throttling' effect of the air being compressed as it travels the length of the pipe.
