Sorry would have searched otherwise. I found This intake while looking around for a comptech icebox and am rather confused, I am intersted in knowing what kind of intake this might be. Main question being improvement over stock air box as well as what improvement this may be over the comptech air intake. Any responses would be greatly apprieciated. I have had the car for about a month so a lot of these things are a learning experience.

As "pretty" as that thing is, it's been known to suck in HOT air - NOT the ideal thing you want in a car like ours.

This intake does look good, but you will lose power because of the hot air. You are not going to gain much with any intake so some people go for the bling. Also heard that this sounds pretty aggressive but I have not heard one.

with both of them. Hot air = loss of power, in general. And the ARC box does this well. If you're going for a show car this box does look very pretty.

I had one of these. Just FYI, the peice in the site is only half of the whole intake. You can run with just that but there is another resonator chamber that costs about as much. You're looking at close to $700 for the complete intake.

Here's a pic of my old setup:



It does sound very nice and it flows a lot of air. There are two filter elements on it. One on the side and one on the top. It doesn't run as hot as most people would think but it's not a CAI by any means. It's definitely a show only peice. If you're interested in more show than go, then get it. I was happy with it when I had it. I prefer the Injen I have now though. Less money, more noise, and no heat bog.

Thanks for the reply guys I am definitly more intersted in go as this is my DD and really would rather have a bit more of a performance piece VS show piece. Yea I had wondered about the second part I had seen in Pics. Thanks most useful forum I have ever used
