Default Question About Intake

I am looking to get rid of my current intake. I am looking at the ARC intake does anybody have this on the car or did? Could you please give me some feed back on this.

I have heard there is no difference in power between this intake and the OEM. It was also said to suffer from heat soak.

Go with the FIPK or Comptech. I have the Comptech and I would recommend it to you since you seem to want one that looks nice.

No gains but does look cool.
It retains heat and provides no better cold air than the oem

True, but with this car you're not going to get much out of an intake anyway. I highly doubt you'd feel a difference from a K&N FIPK and an ARC intake.

AEM now has a v2 with a drip nozzle to prevent hydrolock. Also, there are several types of bonnets / weatherproofing goodies that also prevent hydrolock.
