Mugen is a well known company in Japan, many of us call it "JDM" here. It is very high quality products and very high prices in the States.........hope this helps

mugen is to honda as sti is to suburu. mugen is to honda as nismo is to nissan.
yes they are a japanese company that works along with honda to develop after-market products for only hondas. pretty damn expensive products. "mugen-style" is just a copy or rip-off of the real mugen product...

you can find a pretty big selection of mugen parts at http://www.kingmotorsports.com


[edit] damn blue96accord! you beat me to it! oh well...

Spoon as well has close ties with Honda. Honda casts their camshafts for them.
