Just curious, as they have the Powder coated DDM Intake listed for 200.00, unless I'm dumb and missing something.
Seems...low...to say the least.

No experience but that is one heck of a price for that item. $49 less then M7 has it on their own site.
Might be worth a chance, remember you are protected by you CC company if they never ship or send damaged goods.

Wow, some nice 5th-6th gear responses. 
I'll give picking up the DDM from them a shot. As you pointed out gnatster, CC protection.
Thanks guys.

P.S. And now it's ordered. =)

he seemed like a pretty decent guy.

Well they call you after you order to make sure everything is hunky-dory, liked the personal touch.
Gentleman I spoke with was John. Called me the next day (today). Evidently he's here on the boards as JSWMCS, if I remember correctly.
For what it's worth, he explained to me that the price on their website had not updated yet; it ended up being $258 shipped. Not a complaint at all at them though; they explained to me that they get the part direct from the vendor (DDM, I would assume then), and that their price for the part went up to $249. From that I would be cautious for anyone listing it for $230 currently. I suppose that makes sense, as M7 now lists it for $249.
Regardless, I liked the whole call-the-next-day thing. Good chance to confirm everything. Also happy with the fact that it was $258 shipped. Even if some other sites are able to provide it for $230, shipping for me always brought it up around $250...at that point, once it's within $10, no worries.
So yeah, that's all I got right now.
