Ti -Conducts less heat than steel

Ti -Conducts less heat than steel, not sure it is a good choice for this application.

But it looks very nice.

What did your ARC Tianium pipe all come? Coupler, pipe and...? Did it come with the adaptor from the turbo to the intercooler pipe piece? Like the pic below. Would be nice to know what it all comes with.

As far as looks go, fantastic, and that 4 whole plate is a signature ARC thing, they do it on most of their IC piping. Performance wise, there are IC pipes that are far cheaper that offer the same power upgrades, did you get the ARC IC as well?

The plate w/ 4 holes is to show off the quality of their craftsmanship.

If its just a regular upper IC pipe, any other knock off companies will just copy it.

ARC did this to protect their brand image and product integrity.

i like it thow, but nor for 500 bucks
i think the reason its tituim because then they can heat it up with a tourch to make heat colors on the pipes!
proboly only cost 150 to make or cheaper
the cost of titanium is more than you can imagine.

for 150, you can get steel pipe and smoke it
