also, some members weren't around for some of the discussions between some of the manufacturers on here regarding their intake designs....so there's some history here you may not be aware of...

absolutely correct, just funny how some companies at first try to discredit certain products and designs, then later on replicate it/them

True. If they bashed RPI then reproduced the same design they deserve a little bashing.

These hack's blatently ripped off RPI's scoops. This really is the most embarrassing company ever. First the "hot air intake" and now just stealing someone else's design. 
Who buys this shit?

What are you talking about? They look nothing alike. Clearly, the logo location is at least an inch higher.

RPi is the first company to design intake systems based on forcing more air into the stock intake systems. Intake scoops have been around for a long time but they were never designed in the way we use them with our products. Thats is why I filed a patent for the idea. In the end, AFE = fail. Their products are embarrassing and they cant figure a way to make power so what better than to copy the people who embarrassed them in the first place right?

Its funny because they attacked our scoop idea, saying it was a joke, etc. Well, they finally realized their stuff sucks so they had no choice but to copy.
