| Stainless steel prices are higher than stamp prices . It should fit i built it in the jig that i made from the original box . The jig was a proper pain to do because it sets the bracket and pick up holes and outlet pipe all in one go and has to be able to come out of the jig once all the bits are welded on. I had to make a former for the bell mouth too and that's taken all morning. |

| Tried with the original arc pipe just to make sure it sat right. Now that can be copied in stainless . Arc did me a big favour by using off the shelf aluminium fittings which i can get in stainless steel and polish up |

An arc airbox was about £400.00 when you could get them. Arc are no longer trading. Im going to do the first four at £185.00 plus postage because i quoted that price from the offset but after that the price goes up. |

The induction noise will be the same as the arcbox. Andy's the man who could describe what it sounds like. |

I've never had it connected up with standard ABV connected though. But I can make an educated guess Should be louder than the drop in K&N in the standard airbox which was noticeable and on a par maybe slightly louder than the K&N funnel filter I had...
I think it will suit your needs down to the ground though Steve. You will get a nice induction noise (turbo whistle on spool up) and also a more subtle dumping noise than you get with the cheap noisy dump valve mod. If you balance the throttle just right you will be able to hear it flutter too |

| I would think it would be a slightly harder more audible sound due to the stainless steel and the filters almost three times larger than standard . |
