Here is a working version of your link:

The ARC is a pretty intake, but I've heard a lot of negative feedback on it due to the material it's made out of. Since it's made out of metal, it conducts heat, making it a "hot" air intake! Correct me if im wrong though!

I have heard similar things about the ARC system..i'm not a fan of NA setups as it is, but im incredibly satisfied with my AEM V2..but i suppose if your looking for a great NA intake i would get the Password:JDM carbon intake..

CAI's scare me because of the close proximity between the ground and the filter. You take a serious risk of hydrolocking your motor. If you're on a budget, go for the K&N FIPK.

Andrew, seriously. If nobody else will call u out, I will. Why are u looking into a cheap turbo build, an engine swap and a cai all at the same time. I mean, bro, we want to help u, but GEEZ, wtf do u really want for your car? lol. If u got the money for an engine swap then a cai shouldn't even be on your tongue.

I'm just super confused by all your posts lately. If u can afford an engine swap then turbo your car, if that's not enough HP for you then u have the wrong car. The S isn't built for straight line speed. You can achieve that goal much easier wiht a different car. A cai isn't going to give u any gains that u can really feel. Do some research for the love of the car gods and figure out what it is u really want to do.

I had this intake. Wasnt actually that bad but more JDM bling. On the track it didnt suffer to much but on the street heat soak was a bitch. I ran it for about 3 months before I got rid of it.
