beautiful intake, but its not compatible with USDM S2000s, only JDM (RHD) cars. I know of someone who installed the ARC on his USDM S2000 and he lost power, that was after a lot of modification to get it to work at all.

Its too bad, design looks great.

Long time ago, I actually ordered one about $700 and had them in my hands to install and half way into the installation I ran into the problem of fitting.
Like Ben said it cannot work with US model one because the ac piping gets in the way of the installing airbox, Japanese version would not have the problem.
I was not about to cut or bend the a/c pipe in order to fit the thing, so I returned it and got the Mugen intake.
For about 10hp increase go with Mugen.
Oh, another thing when I asked to find out from the ARC company about the performance increase, they can only said couple hp increase.
