No. That is a combination tank; radiator over flow and oil catch can.

Price? $700? Sure looks pretty....wonder what the dyno looks like with those.

hopefully they actually make some power..

interesting stuff !!!

hope some good power is made

ARC always makes visually pleasing products... not sure if they are worth those high prices.

Cant wait to see power gains!!

Looks mad clean but its def going to be pricey to look like that

Looks awesome. Wonder what the price tag is going to be..

A few pics of ARC exhaust from my personal collection... I think you will find the quality speaks for itself.. ;) I was very impressed with this new setup, and I believe the price when it is released will be competitive.

Generally, I've never seen great or overwhelming numbers from ARC. A wiseman from RB Motoring once told me ARC really is just bling for your car, not a substantive performance part. So I think it really comes down to what your goal is for the car: Performance v. Bling.

I'm not one to criticize JDM parts manufacturers, lord knows I had more than my fair share of HKS and Greddy on my Lancer. However, with the rise of the American Tuning Houses, places like AMS, Buschur, GTWorx, Vishnu Performance, Works, Agency Power, to name a few, it has really made me jaded as to why pay $1,400 for a cat-back from a name-brand Japanese manufacturer who doesn't post on forums, rather their vendor/dealer does v. $900 for an equally nicely finished (if not better) non-name brand, but reputable Tuning House from North America who does post on the forums.

Food for thought when buying parts. By no means am I saying 'Buy American'. But just think about your motivation for buying JDM parts for more money than domestically-made parts of equal or better quality...

will those boxes(intakes) work on the HR Andy?

Not sure if HKS and Greddy should be the JDM parts you are referring to.. they are as much a USDM product as you can get really. If this is your comparison you might be missing out on some of the best proven exhausts.. MCR, Amuse, Mines, Esprit, Tracy Sports, hell even J's holds records at Tsukuba. Quality is forged more than just looks I agree, but all of these companies have proven performance and look good doing it... there are lots of great companies worldwide in fact.. but with lots of cheap imitations out there as well promising some of the best headaches. Just my two cents!

^ Looks even better in person.. ;)

What's the word on the induction box? Its been two years.

Looks nice and clean

Those do look pretty. Need some dyno numbers asap please.

That rear diff cooler looks pretty good.
