I do like the Hennessey kit alot. I also like the Callaway.

Sorry, but you are super confused if you are referring to my product...
First of all, my price is $400 shipped. Shipping costs are actually $100 of that. The shipping alone is $70-$80 and then a 70" x 30" custom box and tape eats up the rest.
Mine also comes with two diffusers, also water jet cut, that I get powdercoated. My cost here is around $50-$60 (for the pieces and then getting them powdered).
You are already at a cost of $150 and we don't even have the plastic splitter itself yet... Leaving $250 for the cost of material, time to waterjet, time to route and my SMALL profit)
The piece is waterjet cut and then computer routed, not cheap. The plastic itself isn't even cheap anymore thanks to oil prices (due to it being made of oil AND the delivery of it just got more expensive with fuel surcharges).
I really can't stand it when people try to talk bad about the price of a piece I have less than 10% profit in especially when they completely down play what goes into a part LET ALONE running a business...
