> yeah…thats been tried…sorry fellas I know you think this can be thrown together cheap but theres $200 in filters,couplers and clamps. The bends are all compound and need to be welded to the pipe…not just thrown in a bender. And I would doubt that there is anywhere local that has the ability to to mandrel bends that tight for cheap.

I stopped there and didnt read any more.

$18 for 3" 180 bend 6061 tube: 2X $36  
$17 for 3" 6061 straight 2’: X3 $51  
$16 for 3" 45 deg silicone bend coupler: 2X $32  
$7 for 3" straight coupler: 3X $21  
$2.60 for 3" tbolt clamp: 11X $28.60  
$15 for an air filter: 2X $30  
$5 for some 6061 1/8th sheet to make mounting tabs: 1X $5  
---------------------------------materials cost $203.60  
powder coating something like that is about $16 in materials (powder is dirt cheap actually) If they sub contract it $100 would be a rip off, more like $30-50. but ill say $100  
---------------------------------PC cost $100

even at 100$ an hr there is no way it takes 7 hours to make that. Infact i could make that in 2-3 hours…

not to mention thats a one off. I assume the CO making that has a jig, so take the 2-3 hrs down to 1.5hrs to cut tube and weld, clean shoot pdc and bake. Hello $466.66 an hr for an intake! If you brought me the car and I charged you $500 for that, I would feel like I was rapeing you.

That is quite honestly a piece of cake to make… and pre throttle body its rather hard to fuck up an intake TUBE, this isnt a manifold where you need to deal with all the pertinent science and math.
