lol from the one time I've met Mike, and what little i know about him, I'm pretty sure he would not be hard-pressed to buy ARC stuff if he wanted too.

why don't you just give it a rest Captain Status *****. Most of the people on this board, myself included, do pretty well in the money department, we just don't see the need of wasting what we have.

ARC crap in my opinion is just that, crap. Not because it was a bad product, but because the price was ridiculous for what you got. If you want to waste your money, fine, but be a man and admit you're wasting it. We'll all still think you're a retard, but at least we'll have a little respect for you.

Don't understand how ARC's ti exhaust was 2800 bucks, when there are vendors on here selling full ti exhausts for 700 shipped? What the hell is the difference?

A bunch of crap you can get at Pep Boys except it's needlessly made of titanium, blessed and shined by JDM gods.

Seriously who **** ing cares.

And, actually, since there's so many weaboo's crying about this, I'm going to talk to a few friends and see how much we can buy the company for. Then we can continue to sell obscenely overpriced JDM garbage on this forum. Anyone interested?

it comes down to this, very simple: I can spend $3000 in IC pipes and Intercooler from ARC and besides the "looks" it will prolly give me 20-25 whp. OR I can spend $3000 at a regular vendor by getting bigger turbo and supports for it so I can gain 3 times the whp. For you who like ARC, more power to you. You are the people they like to aim for and make their millions of.

There is no difference, BUT there is plenty stupid people out there that willing to pay for it though.

its like clothes, go to jcpenney and you will find a pair of Levis jeans for $30, go to Beverly Hills, Rodeo Dr and they sell them for $300 and more for exact same jeans (seen it plenty of times).

i mean.. when BBS filed for bankruptcy protection, the 2nd time around.. i didn't see any "oh they are over priced wheel complaints. blah blah blah"

oh well. capitalism rears its ugly head sometimes.


i guess people with ARC stuff can now sell them to "the overpriced JDM parts company that went bust" museum... which will include Sequential, Trust, etc. etc..
