I honestly don't care if you don't like ARC. I measured intake temps on track and on the street. They are much better than you think or give credit. If you want to follow sheep.. Go ahead.. But do yourself a favor andand research ARC Japan.. They are far from show parts. Next you'll be telling me Endless Brakes are for show too.. Again. You like your part people and I like mine. So don't worry about what others do to their car. I never said this intake was better than some other one. I choose to purchase it because I wanted it.

Why do you say that? I have ARC parts from the 90's, 00's and 2013. Quality is still very good.
I have a tmic and Bov on my GT-FOUR. An entire catolog on my Z33. And the intake on my 86. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I have my doubts in this intake but if I had the money I will definitely get it just the fact thing looks great! Dunno why everyone is putting this guys down when he spent his "own" money on something he likes and when buying something most important thing is liking the thing as human we are a emotional creature. Design looks questionable but with this guys having intake in sure he has a better insight to how it performs compared to the stock intake. If everyone tried making logical decision before making a purchase I don't even think the term "sports car " will exist.
Looking nice buddy I would buy one if I had the cash . |

There's plenty of first hand owners with short ram intakes and think/insist they perform better than stock even though there is data showing quite the opposite. We're all skeptical because there is no data on this thing and people are assuming it performs well based on it preforming well on a completely different platform (which is obviously nonsense and non applicable), being from Arc and expensive. I would be willing to throw money down on this if it is proven to work well... But we don't have the information. I tried looking for it but didn't see it. Which thread is it?

Just haven't seen anything recently better than the stuff they made for the R32/33/34 GTRs.

Well I've been running the ARC box for about a month now and I really like it certainly added abit more to the engine note and I do like the more pronounced suction noise that aftermarket intakes have.
Install was very stupid easy and I had installed it along with the Cusco Inlet pipe. As far as any possible gains go it feels abit quicker to the punch from my original factory air box and my idle certainly seemed to level out. all in all if you have the cash or got a sweet deal on it like I did then it's certainly a unique piece of kit that gets some ohh's and ahh's when you pop the hood. Potato Quality Pic since I don't have my DSLR on me |

Lol I didn't read everything but this intake is a waste of money. You might as well save up more now get that revolution/gruppe-m carbon fiber intake that is proven to make power unlike this piece of crap lol. At least with the gruppe m you get Bling and performance. This intake just has bling and probably makes your car run lean as fuck |
