There's a couple of threads on here about it.

STAINLESS again plz You've changed man.... Donating Members 8,142 Member For: 14y 3m 23d Gender: Male Location: 2 Fuchsia Court, Narre Warren. 3805 Posted 24/01/12 10:47 PM Share Posted 24/01/12 10:47 PM Its all good doing it yourself, good on ya. But as a business owner I definately am thinking my time is money, you may be able to knock this up with $50 worth of material, great, but would you make them for other people for $50 or $100? I dont think so. By the time you have spent the hours, this includes designing, thinking, driving around to get materials, any extra tools needed, factor in your hourly rate you could have been paid at work and the nice proffessional finish of the proven ss growler and bluepower boxes doesnt seem over priced at all. Dont get me wrong though, im one of the most diy guys on here, just saying the oem kits are priced fairly. There is so much more I didnt even get into and am not going to. Another thing is you may have 5 or 6 replicas before you do something your happy with, or you also may never even be happy with it. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78658-who-is-running-a-custom-made-cai/page/2/#findComment-1185573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I just better off not being a tight ass and buying one? thanks Maybe keep an eye out on the for sale thread, theres always an intake of some sort in there...
