If we would use the auto market logic, and used mercedes as another example, to act like some of you guys here, I would be bashing them severly for selling me a 55k car that had nothing but problems. My point is, no one forced me to buy that junk mercedes but I there is no need for me to bash them on a forum, I'd simply take it up to manufacturer and get it resolved. In this case it looks like it has been so in my opinion, this thread is done.
If I may point out something, those of you who dislikes them for comparing products to established companies like HKS, I completely get it but even HKS Had really but fitment issues with my buddies Evo. Their intercooler piping didn't line up correctly and they won't even fix the problem for him. Now if he boosts hard, the coupler pops. Reputable? Maybe for some people, customer service? None! R&D that took years to do like someone here said? I highly doubt that.
Mercedes has an established name. And if you actually look at the company as a whole, they build excellent cars and come with impeccable quality. It was only the last decade or so when they ran into various electrical problems.
Point being? Mercedes rose to prominence due to its emphasis on quality and dependability as their earlier models were rock solid. They already have an established reputation so a few mishaps won't knock them on their knees.

I cant believe ANYONE would charge (or buy) $800 for an intake. I can guarantee you there is more torque loss with this intake than any other due to its velocity stack design. Velocity stacks are for high rpm and take full advantage of the longer wave length, higher frequency acoustic wave and are a nice addition if your going to track the car, but for street driving.... useless.
