ARC intake
#18
Thx for the compliments guys.
I kno the issue of intakes with our cars is a highly contested topic, but I do feel an improvement in throttle response--there's a nice lil whistle when you rev. Don't know if heatsoak will be an issue, but I like the design, and its colder more often here in Chi than it is warm usually

One thing I noticed about the stock airbox is that while it has a good seal and keeps heat out, the size of the airbox is so small, and imo, a proper cone design funnel filter will breath in a lot more air than the stock box. Sure, it might be more prone to heatsoak, but I don't think there is an intake out there that is perfect, including stock setup. My .02

Volume wise, the stock airbox can flow way more than an NA VQ35 could hope to ingest. Q45tech on this site did a pretty elaborate calculation on this very thing.
I can respect wanting to do things strictly to be different and unique, though.
