I'll pass. 1100 for an intake is rediculious. Now if they were titanium then I might consider.

Yeah I was j/k, I know their rep is solid but that price is crazy for an intake. Hopefully it'll come down.

If they were solid platinum and actually made HP (doubt they will) I still wouldn't pay $1100+ just on principle. If they do make a G37 fitment for these, it will cost more than the 370Z ones just like the GT-R parts cost more than ours. Scandalous.

I hope they consider that we're in a recession.

Looks like every other short tube intake ever produced except this one has "HKS" on the tubing couplings. And the big hideous mushroom head filters.

That website carries the HKS intake and you can order all the different parts of the Top Secret kit from them.
Just for those interested haha

Why so scared of the price, its not like you'll literally pay retail anyways. Not only that once its out for a while pricing will go down too. Plus wait till the ARC one comes out, you'll trip ballz when you see the price

they test fitted our 370z with those, according to hks, it picked up about 9whp but they are not done with the r&d. I've always been a fan of the brand HKS , but I don't know why the price keep going up. Maybe to compete with the other high end JDM companies?? Status elite 's intake is a bargain compared to this but qualty is as good if not better

Werd. HKS is and has been one of the higher-end aftermarket parts companies so I'm not surprised at the price. But like G37Rider said, they won't sell them at MSRP. Not these days.
