Try the affiliates, or there are a couple of links a quick google found
eg:

Others probably will too.

HTH,

What about ARC? These are supposed to be the best.

But it is pricey. I bought my car with an ARC airbox already fitted. Not sure I'd buy one new though.

I changed my HKS for an Apexi.

The HKS sounded loads better tbh. The apexi is virtually silent in comparison

HKS suck :mrgreen: the elements just eat away at themselves from the outside.

I'd go Blitz SUS. Sounds waaaaaaaay better than the apexi :thumleft:
Might get slightly less filtration but I can live with that 8)

Obviously some RR comparisons would help to show performance differences, but there is definitely no arguing with the engineering quality and design gone into the ARC.

Took Luke's advice and went down the Blitz SUS route....have to say I'm very impressed....sounds evil when you get it above 4500rpm.....

Just fitted mine today and can report that it feels a bit faster. Noise is slightly more muffled than my HKS, especially the BOV farting.

Quality is awesome, and the filter area is enormous in comparison to everything I have seen.
