So, an intercooler (which from the looks of it, doesn't fit an S2000) AND an intake (which by the way has been proven to lose power).

Good luck with that. I suggest doing some reading on these cars.

I'm a bit confused.

As far as I know, all of the ARC parts for the S2000 are dress up parts (cooling plate, plug cover, radiator/oil caps, etc.) and the useless intake...none of them making them a handling monster.

What plans do you have for actual performance?

edit: i just saw that there's an ARC exhaust, but i have never seen it.

The pic of the intercooler was when I was planning on boosting the car, but I think im gonna keep it N/A for now... the intake I plan on wrapping with gold heat resistant tape to keep it from getting heat soak... true most of the ARC parts built for this car made it look good rather than making it fast, but ive loved ARC for a while now and I think they make great quality parts... and yes they did make an exhaust for the s2000 and I actually found a seller so I hope to be purchading that in the next couple weeks...

I appreciate that but im going with the wow factor and the performance factor... im not looking to put down crazy numbers on a dyno, I want a 260-300hp n/a track car that handles tlike a beast... I just want to accomplish this goal with every ARC part made for an s2000... I also like having a certain theme to cars, and ARC is my favorite manufacturer...

well they make a great quality product. They are the next block from my office, so if you need anything new I can ask them for you. I don't know what they keep in stock.
