No? Hugely qualified to talk about the costs involved then.
Like i say, if i wasn't half way through a house build at the mo i would be happy to design and produce a batch of 5 for £250 each.
Ians prices are high as he has to pay someone else to construct the manifolds. Welding, turning, machining all done by someone else. he has to cover all their profit too!
I have not made an inlet if that is what you are getting at.
I understand pricing though fear not! I also understand the development of a product.
I just dont understand what your issue is with these inlets....
All im saying is dont shoot before you personally have actually designed and fabricated an inlet that is capabale of supplying air to a 400,500,600 hp engine. In which will cost £250 to good ole Joe public.
This company make some superb components for inlets when you get a chance.

I am not picking holes in your ideas here they sound great
I just dont see why your slating something that you cant back up with an alternative YET!
