I did not even pay suggested list price either. However, after my own research on the internet, I had read about an incorporated design feature that was very ingenious. The separation of water and air which would enter the intake duct, and I believe this is a shared problem with respect to True Ram Air Ducts and Hydrolock....

Good read and it gives one a little more piece of mind when trying to understand dinan's outrageously high prices.

Not like I'd ever pay MSRP, but would you mind letting us know where you bought the ram air intake?
