Finally an ARC intake

Finally there is an ARC intake now if only I can find someplace that can get and also find where they put the battery.

Well, it makes it a lot nicer when you have a race car since it is mandated by the rules, like this example. However, I think it would be somewhat of a PITA to do this for our daily drivers.

Either way, I'm certain someone will figure out how to make it work.

I like the ARC and think it looks good, but I don't like how the battery is relocated. I still would love the Mugen Carbon Fiber air box but that thing is way overpriced/too expensive

no way that is worth 800USD, I would rather spend 300usd on those spiderlight led tailights as they have been dyno proven to increase performance by .0002% as they weigh less than the standard bulbs.

I'm certain I could make one of those out of aluminum storm door parts and a big red furnace filter.

I think I'm going to have a Mustang dyno installed in my garage floor, that way if I change the radio station or reset the trip odometer I can just do a quick run and PM you the results!

That would be cool to have my own dyno, it's a pain to go down to the local shop and there's only one in Des Moines.
