tbh, nothing as far as I can tell so you're right on about the not paying for plastic. the 800$ ones are usually carbon fiber, so it looks nicer thats about it.

There's a lot of debate & the makers will promote ~10hp gains, but the 3 independent experts i've talked to say its a total waste and the gains are only cuz of a filter, not the intake system.

consider this: all the M3 race cars use the stock intake, they just swap the filter. if its good enough for them, it's good enough for you/me
