Holy crap, $160? When I bought my amw catch can last year it was $80! Why the 100% price increase? I don't have it anymore, I sold it when I was trying to sell my car. It was a very good quality piece but why did the price shoot way up?

Yup, $80 is what I paid also - didn't even pay attention to the price on their site - maybe they mean 160 Drakma's????

I bought it from AMW for $80 when they first came out - maybe that was an introductory cost?
