i was going to go for the ARC box but Apexi was top in some of the reviews so went for apexi.

I heard the metal ARC box absorbs engine easily heat thus becoming a heater.. don't think that's good for intake temperatures

i'm sure cone filters have higher surface area than panel filters as well

Re: Trolley jacks + Axle stands

Personally I think a higher capacity jack is a better idea- it'll easily lift your car safely, but will also cope with anything else you throw at it as well (lifting the odd range rover for example :lol: )- all well within it's capacity. It's also wider and so a bit more stable- always a good thing...
