The word blemish can refer to any imperfection, which is what it is... Thanks for the bump.

Looks more like a TI exhaust someone had made and slapped an ARC badge on it to make it "genuine" knockoff

Provide proof of authenticity. Are you the first owner, second owner? Do you have papers?
Thanks!

No it doesn't. This statement is fucking retarded. Look at every ARC exhaust, all the canisters look exactly like the one I have. No other company looks similar. Do more research before making idiotic claims.
Provide proof of authenticity. Are you the first owner, second owner? Do you have papers?
I don't know exactly what you're looking for but this is exhaust is probably from the late 90's so it's pretty unrealistic to think that the previous owner would still have any paperwork with it if there even was any.
I understand skepticism but I'm extremely educated when it comes to these old parts and I only buy things I know are real.... look at my track record.
I am the first owner in the U.S. It was purchased from a major chain of stores over there that also had it listed as ARC. (Power Group, no UP Garage).
I will post pictures of similar exhausts so you can see I don't deal with fake shit. Look at all the gems I've sold on here? I've been in this more than long enough to be able to tell real from fake.
(This is mainly for the first guy)

Woah they all look exactly like mine, what a coincidence, they must be knockoffs too......

Not trying to be a "hater"...but, looks to me like you're shooting yourself in the foot with your "proof".
First major difference; welding. Check the midpipe. Yours has a sharp turn, with two welds. Every single ARC exhaust you posted, has multiple welds on it for a smooth transition.
Second major difference; exhaust tip. Compare yours, welded in a couple of spots to hold it on, while the ARC's you posted, are welded completely around the tip.
While it does look to be titanium, the characteristics of it favor strongly on the knockoff side. If it is real, awesome, besides the "blemish"...

I wouldn't say its one of a kind, but it will definitely be rare. It does appear to be "different" though. I almost bought one of these way back in the day for s13. I believe they were around $2,500.

why would anyone make a Titanium exhaust and rivet an ARC badge on it?
"to make it look like a genuine knockoff" a made titanium exhaust how would that even be considered a knock off? you guys on zilvia are something else, stop talking out of your rear end.
you prob don't even have the money to buy the exhaust stop thread bashing.

That's literally the only thing you can talk about, is my post count. Not about how everything I said, was legit. Take your broke ass somewhere else. Like I told him, it wasn't to be a hater, I was just pointing out huge difference.

I have to agree, that is no "small" blemish. Although tyhe canister doesn't leak, it is pretty much smashed to death.
However, considering the "hue", it's probably IS Titanium. How does it compare to the pictures?? Yeah, maybe this is just an "older" version...........

When i seen this for sale yesterday i was like ohh this is pretty cool, dont see too many ARC stuff for sale and this is rare. The smashed canister turned me off tho. Now people are claiming this is fake? Not sure what to think, but i started looking closely at the pics and noticed this picture. Notice the ARC badge how the R and the C have scratch marks on it? You would think the scratch marks would also show on the canister itself...???

It's prbly a genuine ARC system modified for S14. But I agree still high qaulity stuff either way. And the crushed part is pre-clearanced for super low ride height LOL

Wow wow wow. Thanks to the people who stood up for me
Well, I adjusted the price to $1050 shipped. It will be staying there. If it doesn't sell I'd love to just hang it on my wall.
Nothing has changed, there was never a doubt in my mind about this being authentic. People are suddenly experts on a part they've never even seen before.
I wouldn't say its one of a kind, but it will definitely be rare. It does appear to be "different" though. I almost bought one of these way back in the day for s13. I believe they were around $2,500.
Agreed, something is slightly 'different', I think it's just an early version.

"to make it look like a genuine knockoff" a made titanium exhaust how would that even be considered a knock off? you guys on zilvia are something else, stop talking out of your rear end.

Thank you.... glad someone else understood how dumb that sounded.

First of all it's actually the resonator, not the canister that has damage. Second, I don't know what constitutes 'smashed to death' but when it's laying on the ground you can't even tell anything happened to it....
Third there is no "it's PROBABLY IS titanium" dude... it's titanium, there's no argument about that. And I agree with you this is probably just an older version.
Let this guy sell his exhaust.....do you know how much it is to fabricate an exhaust made from titanium?...material+labor.
Thanks dude.. Some people would rather nitpick with no intention of buying. It's all good!

People are ignorant on this stuff. How can you claim it's fake when this is the only S14 application ever seen.
Oh well. As for your point.... there were scratches on the canister itself to match the ones on the badge but I took steel wool and wet sanded them out (as I did with a lot of this exhaust). I was too scared to try and put much work into the badge itself because I didn't want to ruin it.

What are you guys like professors with a OCD disorder on rare JDM goods? You guys crack me up. Canister was polished and cleaned up, hence there being no scratches. I'm not even going to start on the badge or the tips. I vouch for this item and Dazed, honest dude with a solid reputation. The fact most of you kids are questioning the authenticity is just trivial and shows a lack of knowledge on your end. I dealt with ARC when I was around the industry. Grow up kids, if you ain't a serous buyer move along. Dazed has a solid history with treasures like this. Bump for a vintage item and legit seller.
