	$300!!!!   Jeesh.  You can have a machine shop do it for under a
$100.  $300 is WAY to expensive.

	To much.  My friend got Cone Filter and TB for about that if I
remeber right.  Did it seperately to.  (On an A4 12v)  Cone made a
difference.  Then add TB and it made a HUGE difference.  Pulled MUCH
stringer from 4k on to Redline and Throttle Response was better as well.
I know its seat of the pants but Everyone Noted the difference.  It was
blatantly obvious.
