Default ARC box or Mugen intake

ok I guess this is some what type r related
but ive searched didnt come up with an aswer so here's the question

Does anyone have Pics of the ARC induction box in their integra? does it get in the way of ABS? Mainly why i'm asking

and does the Mugen intake get in the way of the ABS?... i've seen these intakes before but never installed on a car except from my friends ITR buts its been a while since i have seen it.

for those are wonder whats its going on is an LS integra thats going to get a gsr motor with CTR internals and i think Jun Stage 3 cams with 11:1 CR i dunno if that would matter

but my other option is to get an ICEMAN cold air intake or a Comptech Ice box if those other 2 get in the way of the abs

thanks for your help (if it needs to be moved its ok with me)

I did this same search a few years ago and found that the ARC is quite possibly the most expensive intake in the World that won't gain you any power BUT it does look pretty.

The Mugen has been dynoed and proven to be the best intake for your caR in terms of making power over all the rest. After owning this intake for awhile now, I can say this is the single best part I have ever bought for my caR. Ever.

lol yea i figured that much about the ARC Just didnt know if it would clean the ABS and like i was going to buy a used one and buy a new filter for it

I was thinking about the mugen one but i could find one for a decent price like a used arc induction box

Yes. I have no experience with the ARC in one, but have seen them before. Mugen and Comptech do not interfere with either version ABS unit.

I'm 85% sure the ARC box requires you to mod/relocate your brakes to fit.

just go mugen

I LOVE MY ARC intake system, you'll just need to push down on the break lines

BTW it's JDM BLING! When i saw it, I just fall in love with it! FOR SURE $ But I like it better than the Mugen give my ITR a full look

had the ARC box along with the pipe on my DC2R, it made less 3wHP on dyno then JDM box with K&N inside. I still have the pipe - its for sale ($25 + shipping)

Like Stone Cold would say, "eh eh."
Now that you know which intake is the best, you know what to do.

FWIW, the ARC has good response. I borrowed one from my friend who got it for a great deal (under $50.00) because I had a track day in early March (rain season).

The track at the time was notorious for puddles and I didn't want my day to end prematurely due to hydrolock as I had an AEM at the time.

I couldn't find my stock intake till after the track day (stock filter was very clean -removed it with low mileage) and upon reinstalling the stock vs. the ARC. I could honestly say it "DID" do something.... but unless you can score a great deal on one.... damn.... save yourself a lot of money and get a BPi instead...or in this case...mugen
