yeah, looks kinda weird too IMO coz it's too plain on the rear, but I'm waiting for my custom made bumper with CF rear diffuser so I hope it will match perfectly with the CF plate cover...

@ Swine

ARC is top quality stuff. STI-JDM, the car looks nice, be sure to post some updated pics. About the carbon rear license plate cover, I am undecided on it, I could take it or leave it.

why do people wear versace,dkny,calvin klein,etc over basic concepts,route 66,thrift store,etc..? the extra money isn't worth it,the quality is the same . you are stupid for getting quality ,unbeleivably well built and designed track proven parts, that are on an asston of actual race cars and have a QA standard higher than some OEM companies . phhht sucker. that arc stuff won't help in the car shows either

Just becase I don't know:

Why did you bother rotating your manifold?
I thought that the idead behind doing that was to decrease the length of IC piping. Your piping seems just as long as it is when manifold is on normally.
Is there some other preformance gain that I don't know about?

LOL... while there's tons of other subies using the ARC core, why you guys only picked on me? I don't understand... I like it, so I bought it. that's the end of the damn argumnet. thanks

the piping is actually decrease by a lot (not on the turbo side) already, and it will be shorten again once I have the rotated mount turbo on my hand.

I could go into detail about how the arc core design creates better airflow or how the piping has some of the best bends and longest continuous pieces, but I would be just jabbering on.
Then how come they can never seem to paint their logo on correctly?

Every ARC FMIC I've seen has the logo crooked (including this one), what is that some unique signature that a portion of their ridiculous $2,500 bucks goes towards?

OP: Car looks hot regardless of FMIC mfg'er...

I like the car a lot, who cares who made the FMIC, and you bought it with your money so it shouldn't matter. On thing though, from the looks of it, the decrease in piping does not appear to be all that drastic. Do you have a measurement to quantify how much piping you lost? I wouldn't think it would be worth going to a rotated manifold to only lose 1' of piping.

well, once I have the rotated setup, we're gonna make another custom piping for the turbo so it will be much shorter. thanks
