I've seen one in action on an R32 GT-R, and it's a lot of money for something that should be better designed. It has two inlets, and uses a standard-sized filter on top and a smaller one behind the headlight. The owner isn't that happy with it.

The main problem stems from the rubber edge on the top filter - as it heats up, the rubber stretches from the force of the suction of the filter, and when it cools it stays the same shape, so the filter never ever returns to the proper shape.

I think I have video on my phone, and can upload it to YouTube if you want.

Thinking of making my own to take 2 full sized panel filters fed by the snorkel and another inlet at the front fed through the spare intercooler hose hole.

They look nice, but jeez they are a heavy bit of gear compared to a pod filter or even your standard airbox.

Honestly, the standard Skyline and Stagea airboxes flow plenty of air as standard, so unless you're chasing stupid power, there's no need to change it.

i was thinking be preety good if you went with a after market intercooler and having that spare intercooler hose hole.. putting a piping down and putting pod filter in where the older side mount intercooler would fit.. cold air, suckin noise, but wonder about rain/water?

yeah i was thinking that stock air box with aftermarket filter is prob better... coz i was thinking the arc just be sucking in air from engine bay right? only lookin at 250atkw mark.. and having aftermarket intercooler would be giving engine cooler air anyway?

Personally, I've got a return-feed FMIC, and it uses the standard intercooler pipes, so the standard airbox is still in place.

Hey 
i know pretty much everyone has stated above that the arc intakes are overrated for what they are.
but i would prefer to run one compared to a pod for the police.
i have a s1 c34 n was wondering if any one here knew if a r33 intake box would suit?
