So I picked up this ARC intake and tried it out to see the difference compared to the J's Racing. The VTEC changeover isn't as loud and it doesn't feel as powerful as the J's but it looks amazing. Here are some pics...

Thanks for looking.

 

BA-LING! sweet mod mang!

 

J's is big and sexy

 

nice buy bro!

 

So your pretty much saying J's Racing > ARC

Where did you buy them

 

i'd prolly have to take it to a dyno to get true results.

J's Racing-Speedstar
ARC-Used

 

what differences in the throttle response between the two did you notice?

 

J's Racing feels better (not starving for air) like the ARC intake which feels its starving.

 

looks nice. always wondered is there a clear cover on top of the arc filter? is it propped up or sealed?

how much was the j's from speedstar?
over $350?

 

I figured the J's would have the best throttle response. Must have cost you alot for both Im guessing!

 

It's an open element filter and the J's was around $400

 

ah! so you're the one who beat me to it. i wanted to compare it with my j's too.

nice purchase man, post up a dyno plot if you ever get around to it.

 

Nice buy

if you want the most power out of a intake, buy a velocity stack intake. The stack is what makes the mugen intake have the overall gains
