I agree.

For looks get the ARC. For performance get AEM.

I had the ARC for a while it looked cool and sounded awsome. The downside and part reason I sold it is because of the traffic in NYC and how I had to deal with the heatsoak at every light. I sold it to a board member who lives in Virginia and put it to the test on the dyno. He did state that he made power with it.

Holla @ diverseasyn for more info.

Personally, if it were between those two intakes, I would retain the oem intake.
