R&D is a huge cost, and people typically underestimate that for sure!

As for the price on the airbox, the carbino intake cost $1995 and provide zero gain as all it is in a carbon copy of the factory box.
This is simply not true. As a sponsor you should make DAMN sure you know what you are saying before stating something authoritatively. I will bet you your business vs. mine that the Carbonio is NOT a copy of the same factory box that comes on the CLK63 Black Series. We have done more BS work than anyone, I think I can support that claim.

There are very clear differences that DO make power.

1. The Carbon filters are removed from the Carbonio compared to stock
2. Due to #1, the intake runner from the filter is a complete oval compared to the "D" shape on the stock box
3. The runners were flow tested to maximize pressure and flow into the motor comared to the "D" shaped stock box.

None of this is to diminish what looks like a nice Renntech product, this is just to make sure that customers are getting accurate information.

thanks
Brad
