Here is a picture when I had the ARC SMIC installed in my car. It didn't take me 2 weeks to realize that this I/C was not a very great item. I switched over to the Greddy SMIC asap...

And the greddy one comes with all hardware needed but the air duct... Mmmm, it really seems bigger than the ARC one... I'll think about it

The Greddy one I am running now is leaps and bounds ahead of the ARC I was using... on the trip to "Rotorfest" this year, my intake temps were around 73*C-76*C, on the damn HIGHWAY! Switched to the Greddy, and even on the hottest of hot days, never go above 57*C (when I am not parked).

Yes. You can even use the stock intake box, is you so wish.
