So you can't use the ram air scoop anymore with the ARC box?

You can you just have to modify it a bit, which I havent got around to doing yet.

looks good, but it does cost an arm and a leg + blood awaiting dyno numbers...

These boxes are custom made to order and take about 2 months to get.

Are those filters reusable? Or you have to get a new one everytime?

wow... i guess its ok. i don't really like the way it looks but that's just personal opinion. i didn't like the stock airbox look which is one extra reason to get an intake. do the engine covers still fit?

can't wait to see dyno results too. $800 is quite a bit, but we'll see how much power it puts.

The engine covers fit over the ARC box just fine.

How does the Arc system work compared to a fujita or K&n typhoon intake?

it's an air box istead of a conical filter, supposedly more efficient. We'll see once I get it dynoed.
