it's way overpriced for what it produces...i have it and it does give a noticeable gain contrary to popular belief...but it also has its issues. You don't notice any gain until about 4k rpm's, probably due to the heat soak caused by the design. If you got the cash to blow and you really want it, or u got a hook up like i did (mine was dirt cheap for me), then by all means get it. But you would honestly be better off with an Injen CAI which i kinda miss but it is illegal here and i already got busted for it! I vote nay if ur gonna pay full price for it! If you wanna see some pics in the engine bay though check my profile

I'll second the Injen option. Anything I've read on the ARC box just talks about it being overpriced - despite it's pretty exterior.
