So what do you guys think? Mugen air box? Or ARC box ?
I hear that the Mugen box gives 12-18hp. I haven't heard much about the ARC, but my friend has it on his 01 ITR it sounds nice and works great.

 

I'd go mugen. it's fully enclosed and seems much more functional. I haven't hard ARC but they look cool.

 

12-18 hp? well i guess it better for almost $900

 

I found the mugen for around$600

 

just checked out the both intakes. I think the ARC one will get hot on long driving periods. it looks like it's made of aluminum. thought I'd let you know.

 

thats what I thought too, because my friends box on his ITR gets hot, but he said that it works the same all the time. ??

 

I've had both intakes on my ITR and the ARC one makes barely any power, it had roughly 2-3hp and a loss of 5tq. The Mugen on the other hand made roughly 8-10hp throughout and a 15whp spike from 3k-4500 and it blends smoothly with the graph rather than just drop off like the Spike and AEM has.

If I had to choose between the two I'd suggest Mugen, the ARC design is very similar for each and every car and I'd guess that it performs about the same on most NA hondas. BTW The Mugen Intake can be found for between $650-680

 

thanks! I think that is a good idea, pick the one with better performs! [IMG][/IMG]

Yes, I say go for the Mugen Airbox too.....Now can I join TN...????


92 LS w/B16A for sale.....!!!!!

 

i was also looking for the ARC intake for my EP3 but havent seen it anywhere. can you guys tell me where you found it. i will probably go with the mugen intake as well, but would like to at least see the ARC before i make my final decision.

 

arc intake is cool looking, but go for mugen

 

I have pictures of it, but I don't know how to post them up, I think I can't because I'm a trial user, but I can email them to you.

 

Thanks! you can join TN... when you get your new car

 

Hey, that's not fair....I can't join with my MBTA bus? It has adjustable air suspension.....!

 

a friend of mine had the mugen on his 01 type s and it either had a problem or something else. it actually dyno'd at 168 or somehting like that and with aem he dynod much higher. but the mugen sounded great.

 

yeah man, if someone could email the pictures of the ARC that would be great. thanks. devin.hultgren@lycos.com

 

I try to email you with the pics. now

 

you can join with the bus!

 

I just sent you the pics.

 

the mugen. it gives more hp on my 03 rsx. 11 from 1000 to 4500 and 8 from 4500 to 7500

Um, ok then

 

Mugen would be the best choice or you can bling with Gruppe-M intake!




And look at the applications for the M3 and F355!

 

is that your car?
that looks nice! that is the one that it sucks air from under the hood close to the winshield?

 

i'd take M00G3N!

 

I think the ARC and Mugen are both waaaay overpriced, just get the Comptech Icebox, its less than half the price and does the same thing. I'm soo sick of Mugen. I do like there new front lip for the 05's but still, there **** is stupid expensive for no reason.
