Why is the Lingenfelter SuperTube so cheap?

I have been looking at different CAI's for a while and the Supertube seems to fit the bill. But why is it so cheap compared to the SLP, K&N, Morso, and AS&M CAI's? This thing has to flow better than the G2 CAI right? Cause they are priced about the same

So get one- even the price of all the CAI are ridiculous...its must cost them all of $.05 to make the tube, maybe a buck to produce the filter...

I am sure Lingenfelter is still makin a pretty penny on their CAI systems..
