I have had a few PM's about this so I thought I would start a thread ;
The spiel :
Fitted: (DC5)
Fitted: EP3

Any issues?
As this kit is specific to the DC5 there is a slight issue when fitting it to an EP3, it is easily rectified.
Just be aware of the issue with the A/C pipe when fitting the ARC to the EP3.
The spiel :
Pictures :ARC has built its reputation by designing some of the best direct replacement parts in Japan. They use superior materials such as Titanium and quality Aluminium to produce some of the more attractive parts on the market without compromising on quality. They focus on cooling technology, exhausts and other niche market products like these.
ARC Super Air induction boxes have an outstanding reputation in Japan. They easily fit in the standard locations and they offer0enhanced filtration and response over OEM items. They are designed to hold air inside the air intake system for increased throttle0response during the ON/OFF acceleration and vacuum situations. An inbuilt funnel stabilises the air speeds to create the maximum flow0and efficiency at higher RPM.
The ARC induction box is constructed from lightweight aluminium for durability and resistance to temperature variations in the engine bay. It also offers an engine bay enhancement.
The ARC Airbox uses the ARC Version II Filter elements which offer superior flow and filtration over OEM items. Also the frame0lamination joint to the filter allows for superior flow over previous versions of these filters. They are also supplied with the ARC logo visible to enhance your engine bay. Colour supplied is Red only.
ARC recommends filters should be cleaned every 2000km with neutral detergent and reused. This way you can prolong the life of the filter. But as these items can deteriorate like any filtration system, optimum performance is maintained by replacing the filter around the 14,000km mark

This is the troublesome air-con pipe. Tbh though i didn't have any problems getting the Induction Box in, its just it sits hard against the pipe and after one quick blast the two had 'grated' together so i just put a piece of sponge in between the two to prevent damage to either surfaces.
