    I think it looks super bling in the engine bay.

    However I dont think It will yield the gains as well as the GruppeM.

    Looks more prone to heatsoak imho.

    If you want cheaper get Injen, better Bang for Buck.

        Why have you thought they were always uber? Because they can show off their welding skills? lol


        Well even though its cheap it has its down falls.

        1. Its Metal and it will absorb heat more easily and will take longer to disperse it too compared to CF or plastic intakes.
        2. Its heavier than most aftermarket intakes simply becos its a Square chunk of metal.
        3. Theres not really a Direct constant flow of air into it, filter sits on the side of the intake parallel to the passenger side fender.

        People in the states have tested and dynoed and have found the Mugen intake to be better in performance compared to the ARC intake.

          IMO it's just a waste of money and better stick to OEM with Hondata mods.

              yeah, i realised after writing this up that it is like an sri and a pos.

              Injen will be the choice (unless i ge an uber gruppeM price).


              I tought ARC was uber because their stuff is used in heavily modified jap cars (eg: Mines GTR)

              Sponsors i guess...
