Step 1: Buy polished ebay intake pipe for 20 bucks

Step 2: Make ARC sticker for a couple bucks

Voila! There you have a $600 intake tube for just over 20 bucks..

I'm not one of those cheap *** people that buy cheap knock off things but ARC stuff is over priced crap.

 

The Arc tube is etched, which is also a pain in the *** because mine isn't polished anymore and I have no idea how to make it look good again without polishing off the etch in the process, which is the only thing making this pipe worth $600 instead of $20, like you said.

 

Good thing my track cars don't need useless silly show car stuff. OEM until I reach the limit of the part or if it breaks.

 

^^^ zackt69's G is a track G and he still has an ARC bling bling engine bay haha

 

^ From what I understand, he sold most of those parts after he got more into tracking than showing.

 

^He hasn't sold everything yet and he is still running the oil cooler, oil pan and STB for the time being. Those items are functional on the track.

 

Yeah, Marcus is right on... I actually forgot about the oil pan lol. I still have the induction box sitting on my shelf too

 

ARC = the designer jeans of the mod world.

I never really saw the technical superiority of their products that justified their outrageous prices.

 

Thats right, i remember the FS thread

 

wanna sell it?

 

...

 

Damn, oh well. Not like I could afford it anyway lol

 

I thought they already went bankrupt once already...or am I mistaken? Or was that the US division?

 

Who would be interested in a replica V2 oil catch?

...or is it really just about the brand name?

 

its the name haha
