I'm sorry but it's hard to call a piece high quality when it's detrimental to the car. Attractive? Eh that's subjective, but if it was high quality it wouldn't be losing power

The intake for the s2k was the only thing that lost power, all the other hundreds of parts they made for the s2k and other chasis worked just fine gained power and were functional...

Not necessarily specific to the s2000 but intercoolers, oil coolers, exhaust

so you're telling me that ARC bling bolts and heat shields gain power for an S2k? damn. what the hell have I been doing? As far as intercoolers, you're not boosting your car so mark that off. Have fun paying 4k for an exhaust that will give you less power gains than a simple test pipe. and I dont see an oil cooler "gaining power" for anything.

If you want to use ARC parts on your car, then whatever. It's your car and your money. In fairness, their parts look nice (intake looks like shit to me) but dont try to pass the pieces off as some epic build and power gaining setup when it's known that the only ARC mod that has anything to do with power actually loses power.

This community really has degraded over the years. Everyone is different, otherwise the world would be so boring. Let the man do his thing, kudo's for following your favored turning shop.
