Default ARC VS AEM

A friend of mine is trying to convince me to just get an AEM intake bc they are about 275 as apposed to 600+ for the ARC. HeE says its the same thing and i can spend the other $300 on another mod. Im trying to tell him that I'd like to stick to the JDM brands and use authentic parts. Can anyone give their 2 cents? what would you do?

thanx

Yeah because you wil get the same gains from an AEM that you would from an ARC, so why spend the extra money... its a waste... i understand JDM theme, and I understand you want the BIG Name brands, but unless you have money to Pi$$ away its not worth it....

get the AEM.. and save the other 300 twords an exhaust
