Seems like ARC had some good ideas on mind when creating the ARC box, but it also seems like they couldve designed a better flow pattern for the intake.
hey..i bought this exhaust system..amuse r1 titan extra (dual) ..and i have a berks test pipe and AEM v2 CAI..do you know if the exhaust gives any hp gains?
can you make an estimate of my car on a dyno? a bit over 210 whp maybe?
sorry never dyno'ed with just the exhaust. I felt like I lost some low-end torque but my corner entry speeds were a tad higher ...may have been the weight savings too so it's hard to say
it's hard to predict hp =) if you have a good solid motor, you 'may' already have 210whp with no mods =)
you all do have to remember that honda didnt leave us much room for improvement. 100+ horses per liter is saying that they did their homework. NA power is hard to improve on. Turbo is really the only way to see noticeable power upgrades. Intakes/headers/exhausts just move the power around in the powerband
lol that's a nice looking intake box...not something I'd pay a premium for if all you do is get a throatier sound under full throttle. Thank god I shook off the idea of getting one before it was too late. AEM all the way.
Hi, friend... I would like to buy an ARC combo for my Civic EG6, but would like to know if it's worth it... Could you say how many cvs did your beatiful S2000 gained? Thanks!!

its not a cold air intake, though

God... All these cold air intakes are bull shit. You might get like 3rwhp if you lucky. Its a joke.

How can you say the ARC is just 4 look it's one the BEST induction kits out there.
If not the best for VTEC engines.

Anytime you build an intake out of metal - heat soak becomes an issue and the air flow path is questionable.
dorikin86 3 years ago
why dont you add aluminum brush sink around your intake.
should lower your temps if its good enough to lower temps in chemical lines.

Too much hassle - Went back to stock for more torque.
dorikin86 2 years ago
Just turbocharge it lol

@dorikin86 Torque does not make you faster HP does.. I would rather have 5-10 more hp than 5-10 less torque
KrGsMrNKusinagi0 1 year ago
@dorikin86.. agreed.. I dont think this intake makes any more power than the others. It does loook good though

Probably slow as hell. I don't drag race - road racing is what the s2000 was really built for.
dorikin86 3 years ago
what was the dyno at and why the hell doesn't any one say or show in the vid clip
luder5555 3 years ago
202 whp and not sure about torque.
every dyno is different - you should really use dyno only to show gains as you mod your car. I did not do a baseline dyno.
dorikin86 3 years ago
ARC is nothing but look. Don't expect it to gain anything.
flagella1337 3 years ago
In this case = 100% true
I wouldn't say that for everything else. Have you tested all their products?
dorikin86 3 years ago
you have to have a good tune as well to show a better gain. you cant just slap on some parts and expect it to gain "x" amount of power/torque
NugKaLj 3 years ago
Absolutely true - but not having 'any' gain is a little disappointing. The sound was worth the money though =)
dorikin86 3 years ago
was the only mod the ARC?

where ever your getting the arc intake you getting ripped lol.
its only around 359:]

yes the induction box is that price. The air chamber is another 250 or so =)

600 $ intake, i wonder if its worth it or just looks... i was thinking about getting one!

0 hp/tq gains on that day
Sound and throttle response gains.
