The original DIY was just under $200 for the tubing parts including the plugs and this next one will be around $300 for tubing parts. The filters were $230.

I'll say that making this stuff takes a lot of time and is expensive. Starting to understand why commercial ones are so pricey...good thing I like DIYs
Ooh carbon fiber. This intake should work because the epoxy and carbon ar both quite resilient to heat. But, the fiberglass might just start melting again once the heat gets through the carbon layers.
