Ask and you shall receive... How much?

If it's reasonable, I'll buy it... but for some reason I don't think it's reasonable

I can see the ad now:

"We now offer the UPIC for a bargain price of $849 and we even throw in a set of cheap worm clamps!"

I love the ARC parts but its so unbelievably expensive its not for me. I'd rather see it on someone elses car who can afford it.

I can't say I like it very much, plus it doesn't seem to do a whole lot of good as a few others have stated. Also if you buy this and want to get an intercooler one day, it'll just make getting the rest of the ic pipes more complicated.

Same Upper intercooler pipe would cost you 300ish to make with a tig welder.

We got a couple in stock

No noticeble gains on our dyno but hey, if you are building a show car, this is the ticket.

expensive? yes.

top quality hand made craftsmanship? - yes!

Is it worth it? maybe!

I'd have sex with it....

But you gotta weld one of the air openings though. And you'd mess it up.

Wow that one useless part as far as power gains go costs more than i have invested into my car mod wise. Which is basically every bolt-on part minus cams and intercooler and thats with my LC-1 wideband and no ebay parts

I could never justify that.....

why the hell would you put something on your car that has a giant advertisment plate on it and costs 4 times what a normal pipe would cost? Ill take aluminum with heat wrap any day of the week and twice on sundays.
