Some stuff is just really honestly dont matter knockoff or not, its a donut shaped piece of plastic.. cut in half.. People have been using those for years, homemade or aftermarket..
It's more of a principal thing for me. Blox makes a living by duplicating everything popular and functional without the headache of R&D. They see a popular produce and duplicate it. The only reason why their produces are cheaper is because the take shortcuts and use cheaper materials and I wont support their tactics. Plus, I'm not building my car on a "tight" budget nor is in a rush in finishing it, so I not to worry about prices.
Also, majority of the price came from the filter and not the velocity stack. The velocity stack itself is about $35. You're paying for a good quality air filter (K&N) unlike the cheap no name brand filter you get with the blox product.
I know they aren't the "creators" of the velocity stack since it was use in many other applications (besides just automobiles), but they did make it popular in the Honda scene and blox caught on to that. So they came along with their "baller on the budget" replicas, but if it wasnt for bpi popularity they wouldn't even had considered copying it. So I give credit where credit is due, and buy the "original."
We appreciate your support, I only wish everyone else shared your opinion. BLOX has a extensive dealer network in place, were BPI has little, so are market share is small. BLOX has probably sold several times what we have sold, and its unfortunate, because it hurts our development of new sizes too. I would love to get a 2.75", 2.5" and a 4" out there on the market. With time these sizes should come to fruition, but because of stolen market share by BLOX development and tooling will be delayed for years, if they are produced at all.It's more of a principal thing for me.

If anyone know of any local import shops with dyno capabilities, please let me know of them and I will send them a complimentary stack for testing purposes.
