only a section of UICP is not going to do anything, plus it still goes the stock route, therefore there is no performance gain, for this particular ARC product I give it a thumb down so is the ARC air diversion panel.

The bottom line is that it still looks hideous!

Biggest waste of money IMO. Rather have a polished UICP for 1/3 the price that does the same exact thing.

But you gotta weld one of the air openings though. And you'd mess it up.

again, proving Zeus's point that all JDM parts should come with teenage asian prostitutes to justify their price.

I've seen a few of those on EVO's before and never giving them a second thought. My inital thought when I saw it on a car was "why did ARC have to add a plaque with thier brand name on the pipe, it justs adds weight". Up until now I had no idea what it actually costs. Now that I have seen the price I am amazed at the amount of money people are will to WASTE for no other reason then they can.

All ARC's products are outrageously expensive, but they do do very high quality welds

If you were made of dollars you would run some of there parts no doubt....

I know they are very high quality, but the prices do no justification.

How many BIG HP cars are stocking up on ARC products? Not many, if any at all.

How many people are stocking ARC products for car shows? A LOT

Hence, ARC is all for show.

Any Titanium upper intercooler pipe will weigh less than any AL or SS one, less weight= more performance everywhere=faster car.

Regardless of the premium of cost they do "perform better" pending the flow isnt restricted, whether or not they are "worth" it depends on your wallet.
