When you add almost anything to an engine bay, how does it look like it belongs there? In my 2002 Silverado, I have a K&N FIPK. This, I'm sure, has been through a lot more testing than what Dtec has done and honestly looks alot better than the Dtec. It still does not look like it belongs because it isn't a stock piece.
I am not so cheap or lazy that I could not have made my own piece for my car. I do posses the skills and knowledge to do just that. However, factor in the time, effort and materials used to make such a product that actually works, I could not have done it cheaper.
Would it have been more satisfying to have done my own? Most likely. Would it have been worth my effort? Maybe. Would it have been cheaper? probably not.

I agree with you, to a point.

These guys are working hard on this, that I am sure. True, it would be nice to have heard something for most people. When I ordered my piece, it took them awhile to respond back to me as well. Still, the product came in a respectable amount of time especially considering that it is sucha small operation for the size of their market/orders.

I believe it has a lot to do with community. How many of the products that are currently available for the Contiques came from grassroots endeavors? I would dare say 75%, if not more. If it wasn't for people within the CEG that had a love for these cars, we wouldn't have most of the things we have now. How much of the aftermarket is even interested to begin with? I'll tell you. Very little and fading quickly as time goes on. I know this personally because I have been trying to work with a number of companies that most of which want nothing to do with Contiques.
Constructive criticism would be more useful here than the "I have a big problem with Dtec" or "Dtec sucks" or whatever else people have been saying. As stated before, I agree with those that have said it would have been nice to know...whatever it is you wanted to know. Nothing is perfect, ever.
