new camaro owners, what would be a fair price
for a CAI?
I have seen some selling for 350.00 and more, and IMO thats just complete nonsense!
We will have an SS in our shop on next tuesday and will be designing a CAI for it. We plan on mass producing them and selling them. I would like to know what some owners think a fair price would be?
I think the neighborhood of 200.00 would be fair, and should sell like hotcakes.
input??

I don't own a new camaro, but 400.00 for a cold air intake is absolute rape. It's a piece of plastic with a filter on it!
I would say 150.00 for a new piece would be a fair price.

I think $200 is a fair price, you will definitely sell a ton at that price point considering the competition. It won't be hard for vendors to under cut the current pricing on almost everything. Good luck to you,

so Im thinking more along the lines of 189.00 or 199.00
I wont know for sure untill I actually get one made up and see exactly how much money I have invested in the project.
rest assured though, it will be a but load cheaper than what is currently being offered.

I don't own a new camaro either (yet), but I agree, whats out there on the market now is damn ridiculous as far as pricing goes. If you can get one on the market for under $200 then you will have a hot product on your hands no doubt! Good luck. I hope you can pull through with this.

Why shoot yourself in the foot so early in production? You also should consider development and testing costs, as well as any tooling costs. That is the main reason new parts start out higher priced, and then eventually drop in price as more are sold.

I'd say $299 is a fair starting price, and it should hopefully help cover some up-front costs. Eventually, I can see $175-200 being about normal.

My camaro should be here in a week or so. I can tell you that I will never spend more than $300 for a CAI. Never. But $200 is good and I would recommend that to everyone with a new Camaro. $400 for a CAI is like SLP charging $400 to remove the rear mufflers and add new tips when local mufflers shops will remove the rear mufflers for $50 out the door.

photos of the electric cutouts we have been working on today. We should be starting on fabbing up the CAI in the next hour or so. I will keep everyone posted.
That new water cooled tig rig we bought does a damn nice job. And my business partner Brian is a hell of a welder!!

baseline pull. cutouts closed.
These motors just make incredible power right out of the box. tuning alone would get this car real close to the 400rwhp mark.
It didnt make anymore power with the cutouts open though, and I dont really get that. I suppose the cats are killing it. It made a bit more torque.
It did sound really great with them open though. nice tone.

Well, if you can get GM to certify the part like they did SLP. You can charge whatever you want.
If I were selling your product I would sell the gains. If their are no or little gains. Or the first time a dealer sees it the customers new car warrany goes into the can, it's worth nothing.
