Default ARC intake on my EF9!

This is my test fit. I still have to put everything back together. But so far its fitting nice.

I liked it both stock and this intake??

What do you guys think>> im on the fence about it.

Looks like the strut bar will still fit. My question is where did you find an ACR box for the EF?

Well the box is from a EG. So i just had to make custom brackets.

And the Arm is custom made. I cut up a ARC intake and used the velocity stack out of it for mine.

I was wondering if that would work. Well it looks nice, the real question is does it help anything? Throttle response? Low end response? Highend? If not, then not worth it for that price plus cutting up another system.

Well i noticed a pretty big Highend response. But i know its two reasons. One is it is a better intake then my stock one no doubt. Second my stock filter was pretty dirty.

So yes a made a nice difference. But was it just the intake itself....that i dont know.

I might do some dyno runs...with stock filter(clean) and the ARC.

It would also depend on how you make the intake tube too.

But i know there are better intakes on the market for power...i wanted more power then i had...but something different and stylish too.

So for me..its great!

Then that's all that matters.

But seriously, I'd like to see the info later when you do some dyno runs, it would be interesting to see.

I think for sure you would have to get a slimmer battery or else relocate it.
