Default a little help here

I have a question to ask you all, I have a LMS intake forsale since I traded my car. No one is interested in it. So my question is why? Why don't people want it? any input would be great to help figure out this problem I am having.

The biggest problem with current intakes and exhaust is that they do not provide significant increases for our cars at this time. Yes, they help, but not that significantly.

Also, used aftermarket items depreciate heavily. A new intake is about $250, and a used one will sell for between $160-200. And no one wants to pay extra $$ for installation and shipping...

my feeling is every little bit counts with hp, there is only so much that can be done on these cars shy of a blower, or headers. as far as price though I am not asking the world for the car iam asking $150 shipping included I think that is fair, I will even clean and re-oil the filter before i send it out. but then again not to much I can do about it but wait.

Yeah. I think you just need to wait for the right buyer. It'll happen; I have the LMS intake as well and I like it. I would definately buy it for $150 if I didn't have it...
