Dinan rapes people buying the CAI at that price, even with their 20%. It is a joke. $600 for that TB as well...ahahahah hope they send you some lube for free!! $1800 for their "free flow" exhaust

oh but wait, then you can get points and get their Dinan badge!! lol... so you can now have the badge of honor, that says "I love to overpay and look at my neato chome (abs plastic) badge, woo hoo."

But they would brand the tube of KY Jelly as "Dinan High Performance Lubricant", charge you $20 for it, and force you to take your rear end to an authorized Dinan dealer to have it applied.

Dinan wants to emulate Schnitzer, Hamann, Alpina... I guess charging a crapload of money is part of illusion.

The chromed badges are from the same people who make them for Dodge trucks - personally, I went with something that could be worked on by my dealer, one stop shopping, only one guy to deal with - as far as DIY, been there, done that, but really don't have the facilities to work on my car as I did in the past - hp is up to 315, redline now 6200, it sounds headturning awesome, and flies (130@4500 ) - I plan on a trip to Bonneville Salt Flats to join the 130mph club (150 u need a rollbar)(it was rained out last yr) - I'm luvin' it - out here I don't have all the options you have in SoCal
