Re: ARC airbox arrived!! (kengs)
Congrats 
Which box did you get? The EG or the (2-sided) EK?

getting the EK for the extra inlet for a make shift cold air,
but I heard they're might be a fitment issue. So to play it
on the safe side I went with the EG.

Re: ARC airbox arrived!! (blackANESE)
Sure it looks dope and everything.... And i bet it cost you a packet too...
But how much cold air do you think its going to get from facing the bonnet, given that hot air rises and gets trapped beneath the bonnet...
Think about it maybe...
Its a big name but any fool can see its a crap design...

Re: ARC airbox arrived!! (EG6-SiR)
my old ARC box, that thing made less power then a stock box with a HKS filter, other then looking good it was it for it. no midrange torque either, as claimed
two problems with it is that it heats up really quickly and holds the heat, and second is that the filter elements get dirty extremely fast plus expensive to replace
never again
it gets more thumbs down from me the Reactive piece

Re: ARC airbox arrived!! (eg6ajk)
The box in the first pic is the EK box 
No doubt, the paper filters kill the top end - but the ARC is all about midrange power (no AEM dip), torque and snappy throttle response...
I was thinking about changing over to the optional black foam filters for my EK box (which is WAY bigger), but I found a used Mugen intake, so I am switching...however, I will test both on the dyno to give a side by side comparision

Re: ARC airbox arrived!! (SiR-Technikz)
ARC Box is crap. My friend lost 2 horsepower across the board and 5 on the top end switching from an ITR AEM CAI to the EK ARC Box intake. It's expensive, takes up lots of space, expensive filters.. That **** sucks.
For the price of that thing you could have bought CTR pistons and rings and actually made more power and torque.

Re: ARC airbox arrived!! (SpooN Man)
I always think it's kinda funny when certain parts out there make no power on the dyno OR the track then people go... "throttle response!"

What everwill I do now?
Well, I bought this because I wanted it. I could afford it, so I bought it.
I also have JDM ITR pistons coming in, so that is not even a concern. I have a
another motor sitting in my garage that will have plenty of torque. So please, lay off the woulda, coulda, shoulda stuff, it's tired.
Keep the hatred coming

Yes, the paper filters will kill off some of the top end, but I am happy with the tradeoff
