The 90-degree aluminum box; with the 2 air ducts and the 2 tubes that could hold some liquid; going in and out of it.
Looks just like every other liquid-to-air intercooler I have seen, but I haven't a clue as to why the smaller tubes would be a dif. size.

Actually, if you look closely, the white/clear plastic tube coming out the back is the valve cover breather tube. The front tube is almost certainly the air intake tube for the exhaust air injection pump. Both of these tubes normally connect to the stock rubber intake tube.

Hey everyone-
I love ARC stuff (their intercoolers are tops), but the ARC airbox is a bust.
I had one of these garbage intake boxes in my other car- we netted about -30HP under load with the hood down compared to an HKS SPF system. Think about it- it sucks all the hot air from the top panel... right next to the biggest obstruction there could be to a panel filter- the hood. And on my version it had a smaller filter on the side, where it ended up sucking all the air from anyway. Talk about a serious restriction.
It's a good intake if you're worried about water inhalation, but a total POS if you want performance- and at that price, it had better perform better than stock. Which, unfortunately, it doesn't.
I don't know how they sell all of them in Hong Kong- and I see them everywhere. I guess it doesn't matter when there's no dynometer to check gains or losses...
