I thought it was going for around $300, at least that is what Dennzo and Big Tom paid.
It must of went up in price.

I found it but you would have to buy the clamps and hoses but it would still be way under $600.

I only know two members that could answer this for sure, but they are both banned.

Correct.

KL is the one bigtom uses, CX is the one I found and is cheaper for north american people, though it is 0.5" less in depth IIRC.

The CXracing IC off the ebay link earlier is likely the cheapest way along with making your own mounts + buying the piping separately.

S0ooo rumour has it that Big Tom got banned for defending his IC too much in one of the recent threads...hmmmmmmmmm

I surely hope that's not the case.
