Wow! Very nice & definitely bling status!

Have any pics of how your intake looks from the inside? I've always been curious on how it looks.

Here are some pics for both of you guys. Basically there is a pipe that connects from the back of the intake filter to the back of the intake box as well, which is why the entire intake sits closer to the front air duct on our cars when compared to a JWT. AS you can see no other layer inside

Thanks for the pics Rick.

Transition from the JWT, how does this compare? Any noticeable difference in performance? Sound?

The exhaust note did get a bit louder The MAF is placed a bit farther from the intake filter itself, which may have a positive effect since there should be less "crazy" turbulence like the JWT since the intake filter is so close to the MAF on that unit.

An arm and a leg! I mainly got it to complete the ARC arsenal. Only thing ARC I don't have is the radiator and exhaust (3k+) since I went with the koyo for 300 something

Nothing magical about it. It has the plain ol aluminum but the nice part I like about it is the MAF being placed farther back from the air filter and the air filter being closer to the air duct
