So I get any cl65 or Mercedes v12 for that matter is in the 6 figures range new but why on earth would a bov be 500 bucks a piece or 1000 for the set when any other bov on the market is half the price per? I didn't pay 6 figures for my cl65 so to me paying 1000 dollars for some bov's is out of the question.

Because there's one born every minute unfortunately. The OEM valve kit works fine. I'm hard pressed to think of a worse way to spend my money.

It's called the Mercedes tax. Much like if you live in a nice home in a nice area and have a contractor come to your house and give you an estimate for work. It will always be much more if they think you have more to spend. Also, since fewer of the products are sold, they have to charge more per unit to make up their R&D costs. Probably not 500% more........

Smh jesus christ I mean even the leading competitor who lives in my home state of Illinois is half that price.

Lol @ the Mercedes tax. Yeah even when I have something as simple as mounting a tire I never tell them I own a Mercedes because of that.

This is what I did on my car about 3 years ago

Connect the stock bypass valves to positive boost pressure from a source before the TB to keep them close constantly.
Then connect the lines that were going to the stock bypass valve to a set of forge bov that are plumbed in between the turbo outlet and TB (fabrication will be required)

With this set up you will get the BOV sound on de-accelerate
