Nice exhaust! I'm curious how other companies are going to angle the tips?

I'm cool with the feedback as they are just sharing fm their past experience with ARC. Honestly my car feels better and it could be due to a combination of mods i have done.

Pipings, ARC airbox

& Trust exhaust




Bro,

Your exhaust looks very nice, how's the performance gain?
Number plate lagi swee!

After all the crap i went through on my S2000, I just don't see the rational behind a dual exhuast on an inline four.

More torque and less horsepower is all i can think of. I gained nearly 18whp from switching exhuasts on my S/C S2000. Ran 11lbs through a comptech blower w/ after cooler, all while on the stock internals (11.0:1 comp., talk about rev happy).

I'll admit that it probably makes the car more drivable for daily driving, but for the money your spending on the exhuast already, a single exhuast outlet will outperform a dual on the 4b11 any day.

Aside from that the quality of the exhuast looks great. Typical Trust products! The ARC intake, although, looks to have been cheaply made. Maybe its just me, but the ARC intakes made for the 4g63 powered EVOs looks of higher quality. None-the-less, I LOVE ARC. Simply adore all their products for not being over the top.

P.s. come to think of it, the only cars that have frightened me enough so that I am afraid to approach their redline is my Supra, and the new Z06. My dad has a z06, and without a full tank of gas, your front end can soon become your rear end. If you know what I mean.

I hope they make good power in the X.
Here is dyno proof that the ARC box makes power on Evo 9

+13 WHP and +15 ft-lbs of TQ.

The ARC box is one of only a few box's that some top tunners suggest over the stock.

Just curious how you arrived at a single exhaust outperforming a dual on a 4b11 any day? Besides the obvious weight increase of the piping on a dual, if the first half of both exhausts are 3", and the last half is a Dual 2.5" or even Dual 3" versus a Single 3", wouldn't you think the backpressure of the last halves would be very similar on a dual 2.5" or LOWER on a Dual 3" exhaust? You can tune the exhausts for better NA performance but on a Turbocharged car usually just going lowest backpressure will result in the best performance under the curve when comparing them on a Dyno. Even for systems with 2 mufflers, wouldn't there be less backpressure when only half the airflow has to go out of each one? Just something to think about.
