I've always wondered what the point is when it comes to an intake. People who want to get some additional power always go for bolt-ons, but they tend to want more power later. When that happens, they have to start building internals to go the forced induction route. When you slap on a supercharger, your intake does not bolt into the same place anymore. It has to go from the filter to the supercharger instead of the engine, resulting in a new piece of piping. As a result, anyone who bought an intake has to throw it away because it no longer can serve a purpose.
In other words, intakes, while potentially attractive and shiny, are not any good for people who have goals for their rides. They don't produce enough power to really make heads turn and they don't make the air cold enough to justify the price.
