Youre not just paying for a brand name.Youre paying for quality.
Construction materials have to do with the Intake. Some of them prevent heat better than others, thus improving the HP numbers. Everyone says theyre all the same thing but dyno them and see the result. If you buy just a stainles steel pipe that heats like a MOFO it will not be the same as buying an intake that was designed to work better (any brand you name it) due to the construction and materials used.

Plastic intake, ceramic coated intake, stainles steel or aluminum intake... they all react to heat and conduct heat diferentlly thus giving you different results in the HP department. Granted that the difference is not huge(probably 1-3 hp) but theres difference.
