Ram air Prices??

Whew, that's a lot of money for something you can't even see....and I really think their claims of a 40% increase in airflow are really out to lunch...the bike already has a ram air system.
The second ones are bigger...that's why they cost more...
Their finish looks fancier too.
lol
I would assume at a certain engine hp(whatever that may be) that is still using the oem ram-air ducts, at some point they bottle-neck, and air flow is at it's peak(at what mph, and if enough flow through them would not ever be adequate or not, as most big hp bikes breathing alot of air are turbos, and not fed through the ram-air ducts).
I wonder though if the larger ducts, with 40% more capacity than oem could improve aerodynamics at speeds above the often tested 186mph.
If the bigger ducts allow for a smaller pocket of turbulence in front of the duct inlets at the same speeds?
That as stable as the Busas are in the 200mph range, if larger ducts could help with aeros beyond that?
Or do they simple cause a bigger pocket of turbulent air around the nose?
Sealing the airbox seemed to be good for small amounts on top for some LSR bikes, vs the holes added or gaps left in the oem ram-air tubes for water or moisture to escape.
