I've been reading reviews of the Mugen intake, and it seems that people keep referring to a velocity stack inside of the unit, but I can't find any pictures to show this!

Anyone have a picture of this handy?

 

This is as good as I can do.

So, the velocity stack isn't a part of the fiberglass/carbon fiber?

They sell a velocity stack adapter on the sponsors forum! Kinda pricey though

 

i use the prototype, and im pretty happy with it. i havent even retuned yet.

 

Here is the Gen 1 velocity stack:

 

tatami floors - lol!

More info on this velocity stack?

 

See All Motor about it.

They run about $28.

Sorry to ruin your dreams chad.

Whale ***** + stack FTW

First of all, the intake is only fiberglass... no carbon fiber. The velocity stack goes onto the intake tube, the filter sandwiches between the v-stack and air box. This gets tightened down with a clamp that fits around the joint where the 3 come together.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why they charge $900 for that stupid thing. I also cannot figure out why nobody has copied it in ABS plastic w/ a carbon fiber layover on the cover yet either. Even the Velocity stack could be ABS. That thing looks like it should cost about $50...

I do understand it requires some R&D and stuff, but come on...

 

Here's what I've got...

 

THank you!

Wow, I never knew the unit wrapped so tightly around the filter.

The comptech unit actually has some free space around the filter, right?

Having a gap would kinda defeat the purpose.

 

Nice pixorz dave...

It doesn't cost $900. I imagine there are no replicas because of this copyright thing. Besides, why you want a 'fake' Mugen part?

It is not like there isn't any space in there.

In what regards?

&lt;---always wanted to "add" to the J's and put a velocity stack on it, as well as a cold air extension.

Ooops, I guess it's only $715 (at King')...

That is still pretty expensive (for me). IMO I cannot see any reason why these parts should be made of hand laid fiberglass. They are not load/pressure bearing in any way. And as far as "fake" goes, if the item makes power, then who cares that it doesn't say Mugen on it? Mugen is just a name, and along with that name comes a ridiculous markup. I don't really think it matters who makes it as long as it works, and I know there are people out there that would agree with me...

I just wonder how there is 10,000 companies that sell Recaro "style" seats & Spoon "style" lips, and they never have problems with copyright? How does Password copy J's & get away with it?

 

Time to play with some fiberglass.

Since I don't want to spend 700 on a test mold, I think i'll buy the icebox and work from there.
