Post by: Crispo on May 20, 2013, 10:56:28 pm: Seen this on eBay and was wondering if this is a genuine Revo product? Never seen this one before so thought I'd ask on here

Post by: monte on May 21, 2013, 08:03:03 am: Is this the new Revo Intake with a cheap filter???

£160 is SO cheap :surprised:

Surely the new Revo filter won't be more than £90?

Post by: bacillus on May 21, 2013, 08:35:32 am: I think these are all fakes as revo themselves sell them for over £400 and not the RRP: £245 quoted in those ads.

Post by: Tfsi_Mike on May 21, 2013, 09:15:10 am: I thought they where the guts of £400 too

Post by: Crispo on May 21, 2013, 04:38:36 pm: Could they be selling both to cover low and high end of the market?

I doubt it!
The make up of both are completely different if you look closely.

Post by: MC71 on May 21, 2013, 06:14:59 pm: Its got to be fake.

The genuine one looks the business in the flesh if not a wee bit pricey. The other one looks like it was made on Blue Peter.

Post by: Bignod00 on July 23, 2013, 01:44:19 pm: REVO themselves have released a cheaper version of their flagship intake. Quite a few differences and the quality of it felt cr@p when I looked at it at GTI Inters. Genuine REVO race intake is priced over £400 as already stated! :sad1:
