Why not just get a CAI and save $150 or so?
Again, he is going for SHOW ONLY. Go to ANY scion car show. How many ARC boxes do you see? Now how many tC's have the SAME CAI?

^ Thanks you sir.


Also, whatever I get can't be a CAI. My car is low and we have too much rain here and I don't need to be getting anymore tc engines. Rain was so bad yesterday with the tropical storm that I couldn't leave my neighborhood cuz it was flooded a couple streets down. In fact there was some major intersections closed today cuz it was under water still.

So I'm gonna bump this and ask all you show guys will this really make a difference in show points? Do you think most judges will even know what it is? I ask cuz I'm about to buy one and I'm really getting iffy about it. Do you even think it would look good under my hood? See pic below.


Yellow top Optima battery is coming painted black and header will be coated to a chrome/polished look.

It depends on what shows you're planning to attend. If you on hitting the major shows like HIN, the judges are more knowledgeable on all the different parts from the top companies. But if you're going to small shows dealerships sometimes put on, they probably won't understand the significance of it.


I'm getting a killer deal on an ARC box, so I'm planning to get one regardless. I got my MAF adapter from tctctc, so now I can finally make the purchase. ARC FTW!

Update!!

After seeing my friend's ARC box, it looked like the Randode MAF adapter would not fit with the box. Sure enough, the adapter did NOT fit. I had to leave my adapter with High End and they machined a new one for me. I'm going tonight to see the results. Pictures later.

How about... make your own? The ARC box doesn't look like much time was spent engineering it.

Finally, some pictures. Please excuse my filthy car. I haven't washed it since August.

Also, I'll be getting some way better shots later. This is just to show the intake.
