I run a k.n typhoon and a cat back stainless custom made exhaust this really brings a lovely note to the sound of my Roadster .

I run this crazy contraption:
Thats nearly the same as mine but I have a heat sheild to protect the filter .
ru running a stock exhaust ?
The intake (from the cone to engine):
K&N filter
1.6 JRCAI cast aluminum pipe
MS PNP AIT sensor
ARC 1.6 cross over tube
Engine to exit:
Jackson Racing exhaust manifold
Trackdog manifold blanket
2.25" Hi-flo cat
Borla Cat-back
how effective is the ARC intake chamber? buy it for bling, function, etc? those seem to be a lot of money for that
I like it for the 1.6, thestock crossover is suspect to cracking and leaking. The volume of the chamber should add a little more torque. It smoothed out the mid range a little, judging from the sensitivity of my smooth, muscular, shiny posterior.
I use a Weapon R full intake, given to me by Pat/NA6R.
MSPNP IAT
Megan Racing 3" custom catback
Would have a header, but what is the point when ill have to swap it out for a turbo manifold anyways...lol
I'd like to get one of the ARC tubes to dyno.
been turbo'd twice, supercharged once on this same engine and car.
with the head work I have done, the MS and other mods for response, it really is a lot of fun on the track. definitely less problematic than f/i.
I have the ARC chamber for the 1.8, It's attached to the stock AFM and a K&N cone filter. Love how it sounds, and it seemed to give me a few hp if any (butt dyno?) I got it for really cheap so I can't complain. Eventually I wanna change my filter for an Apexi filter which I've read does a really good job.
On my 1.6 miata i have FM link so, no AFM
NA randall carbon intake,
OEM box with top 1.8 (better flow than the 1.6 square)
Green air filter
ARC intake chamber.
My 1.8 so far:
ITG Maxogen CF intake:
The original plan was to run a Randall cowl intake with a ARC Magic chamber, but there were some fitment issues and i was really reluctant to cut the firewall for an intake than runs a circle round the engine.
The ITG performs well so far, it is an improvement over the stock setup regarding intake temps and responsiveness. I tested a JR intake before and the ITG is better in many ways.
Tried a video once but you really only notice under full load...
Might try a setup where the air is picked up in front of the radiator in the future.
test fitting mine...
are 3 mounth since i have to order silicone hoses and a HKS mushroom filter...
just the time to polish it..
The Lowes special. It's not as bad as it looks.
