personally i have heard the ARC isnt that amzaing, as far as the AEM V2, it supposed to sound really good and give you some HP gain. As far as quality and eye-cadny, ARC all the way. Performance wise, i dont know who wins that debate. Good luck.

This intake tends to retain heat cause of the material its made of but for show its a nice addition to your engine bay. Performance wise i wouldnt suggest it, i would recomend J's or Mugen....

the bling is definetly there, as for sound its vague.. u really cant tell with the snorkel, unless u crouch down 2 where the snorkel is and then it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.lol. but if you take off the snorkel, the sound is amazing, but then that defeats the purpose of the whole cold air system.
