I just sold my customer a Dinan intake for his M4 for $2k. Dry carbon is sooo nice and light but $2k..

So this is "Pretty" but what else does it offer for $2k? Does the carbon fiber reduce heat soak drastically? It can't be a weight benefit as the stock intake system cant be that heavy.

I'm not knocking it I'm just curious where the money goes.

You are paying for bling at that point and price range.

Why do you think it will be $2K? The variable version for the IS 250 is $1K and it seemed as though most of the units were around that much. Not saying that $1K isn't a lot but, it adds some Vaseline to the purchase. I for one would love to see something like this come to market. Here is a link to Arma's USA subsidiary although I cannot find anything referencing an upcoming RCF offering.
