I would hope that whatever they copy is priced right. They while have zero design dollars and zero R&D dollars. All they will have is manufacturing dollars and shipping so their piece needs to be half the priced compared to the original.

Quad diffuser was priced the same as the regular diffuser. But thus the regular diffuser out sold it by such a huge amount that it wasn't even worth producing the quad any more. So iCarbon realized the return on investment wasn't worth it and they discontinued the quad.

You have to realize that maybe less than 5% of the people who decide to go aftermarket exhaust go quad exhaust, thus they are the only people on the market for a quad diffuser. It won't be worth it for Scopione to make a quad diffuser and sell 5 of them total.

I am positive the front lip will have a great introductory price since the diffuser that 15+ people ordered are getting it for 350$ + shipping instead of the 800$ iCarbon priced theirs at. But once the introductory offer is over that diffuser goes back to around the normal price of 550ish. Same thing will most likely happen with the lip.
