Went from AEM CAI to Mugen Air Box...Gotta say def worth the $$
Have to say if it wasn't for pictures and the Mugen Write up i would have scratched the **** out of this box....Because of the write up everything went smooth and not one scratch THanks GUYS OH and the AC still works

Current setup T1R response Header, SMSP cat, T1R power 63 cat back exhaust
and now the Mugen Air Box














Also had my trunk bar Bling Bling'd to match the lower tie bar

that's sweet i wish i could afford one

 

Killer . Looks like you bucked up and bought it brand new. This will be my next mod, hopefully.

How did you get your rear bar chrome? Did a shop actually chrome dip it? Do tell.

 

Bling Bling'd lol, nice

what differences have you noticed performance wise between the two??

 

As for the the truck bar i had a local metal and polish shop take care of that for me as well as my lower tie bar....$150 for both....

With the Mugen I noticed the car doesn't feel so boggy like the AEM did.....

Very Nice

I've got the same header and cat. A little one paragraph write up of your impressions would be appreciated

 

The one thing you feel is throttle response going from the AEM to the Mugen...step on the gas and the needle starts to climb as where the AEM seemed like forever before vtec kicked in....the mugen is a little less quieter but not much more..i can still hear the vtec kick in & i think i can still scare someone walking by as VTAK is kicking in

 

damn, your pics are motivation

 

&lt;---- Hopes to sell his J's soon for a nice mugen piece.

Your probably right, but 3M makes a nice replacement for a fraction of the price.

My guess its for blocking water but I could be wrong...maybe it angles the air coming and straight in the pipe

I didn't get that part either. Maybe it's a block off plate for that little hole between the fender and the engine bay?

I just read the good old mugen intake install write up and someone posted that it was a splash guard.

 

Nice
