I was going to say the same thing, and for most of the $1000 kits they actually have done some r&d to find the most efficient path for the air to travel. You get what you pay for.
On the other hand i built my intercooler setup and i like it, 2 1/2" piping and a OEM Evo VIII intercooler. I spent around $500, but my trade offs are that it looks no where near as nice as a $1000 kit and i had to take the time out and retro fit the piping. I actually had LSE make my LICP later on because i was having issues with a bend and i dont have a welder and they did a fantastic job.
