Hey guys, The plan was to buy a AP1. I got a good deal locally for a used ARC Box & Chamber off of a guy with an AP1. I ended up buying an 06 AP2. Now my question is can I use the intake with my 06? Visably it looks like I cannot use the intake because of the IAT sensor in the intake tube. I compared with a friends AP1 and his intake tube has no sensors in it. Can I use the ARC or do I have to sell it?

Thanks in advnace
Mike

 

Unless your really into looks, just sell it anyways, not a very good intake for performance.. No idea on whether it will work or not but I know that I had a similar problem with the K&N but it was able to get it to work. Good luck!

 

I'm going to try and make it work somehow first. If I were to sell, any idea on what I could sell it for?

 

You might be able to, I'm not exactly sure how the set up with that intake is. Idk though, I know it's not very popular with a lot of people on here because of how it heat soaks. You might still be able to sell it here though it's a good looking intake. I'm not sure on the price though..

 

I think they go for like $350-$400 but dont quote me on that

 

You could probably get $400 out of it. Yeah it's definetly not a very good intake, it doesnt really help anything except for give you more heatsoak than the OEM airbox. It's mainly just for looks. Also you might be able to drill a hole in the chamber part then get a rubber gromment to put in there to hold the sensor if you keep it.

 

Alright thanks guys, I'll probably end up selling it. I'm going to do some researching on other intakes and go from there

 

aem? (:
i love it hehe

or you can go for the k&n if you worry about hydrolocking your engine!

btw the ice box is a really good intake too!

 

I just sold my K&N FIPK and bought a CT-Enginering (comptech) ice box and its night and day difference i feel the car way more throttle response and just feels like it pulls better! It might be in my head but I love it!

 

I just installed both Arc intake box and chamber in my 07 s2k. I had the same issues with mine, and also started a thread for it. for the newer 06+ s2k, we have a IAT sensor which doesnt have any spot to mount into on the chamber arm, so what i did was took the sensor off the stock arm, and installed it into the front hole of the chamber( 06+ dont use a vacuum hose like the older models).
