15% discount is not that hot of a deal but I guess it is going through a middle man now

My Ride: A Car faster than yours.....
Please understand that its my personal goal to ensure we offer great value to our customers. I personally spend hours, days and even weeks working on these things so that you guys have a dyno proven product. With that, I price them to what I think is a fair price for the performance and quality of the product. The reason we have not done a groupbuy before is because we dont want to undercut our dealers. Its very important for us to offer great value and pricing to our retail customers but also maintain proper and honest business practices with our resellers. Because of this we are going to offer the GB through Trinity. The BMC pricing is a little bit tough for a GB, but we can work something in there as well. We have to import the filters from Italy so there is a GREAT deal of shipping that is obsorbed by us and we dont pass that along to you guys. Thats why the margin for the filters is almost nothing. 15% is a killer deal as I told Trinity to offer only 10%. Joe is eating the extra 5% on your behalf.

How anything negative can be attributed to this is beyond me.

I think 15% is a great discount, and I appreciate RPI and Trinity for putting this together. How anything negative can be attributed to this is beyond me.

My Ride: A Car faster than yours.....
Thanks for your understanding and continued support guys. Remember, we are just one of you guys....a bunch of car nuts that just happens to do this stuff for a living. We're not full of hot air like others though and you DONT need to remove your hood in order to get hp from our intake set ups. 
Props to RPi & Trinity
