Go to snabbs website and check the feed back comments on the intake section for 850's etc.

If you dont mind me saying, your comments came to me as a little.....

'its rubbish and will make no difference'.
Sorry if I have taken it the wrong way.

However, I do feel the difference, I got rid of my snabb, put a stock pipe on, drove the car complaining that the car is a little 'down', only difference was the intake pipe. Put my own Custom made (for me) pipe on and my cars back to were it was.
After that, many friends mentioned that the quality either matches or exceeds Snabbs intake pipes for nearly half the price! Then, asked if I could sort one out for them.

They may look simple to make, trust me, they're not simple to make to this standard. Takes time, effort and plenty of patience.
Im only teasing you Niles, I had a very similar design one fitted to my 850 for years..Worth every penny imo..

Not sure about the market for this TBH, but if you made similar quality RIP kits for a decent price I'm sure you'd be deluged with orders
