if you like A/C then you will want the comptech. form waht i have heard you need to remove the A/C to fit the mugen in.

Re: Comptech VS Mugen Intake (Gravity)
the pics on KING's dont imply that you have to remove the AC but who knows? I just like the look of the MUGEN and it seems like it will work just as good if not better than the icebox(not as bulky) but who knows
oh I have the AEM now and hydrolock really scares me

Re: Comptech VS Mugen Intake (ITRacer121)
damn it that figures! oh wait do you have the drag one or the street one?
There is only one Mugen intake. They make one version for JDM cars and another for USDM, but it is basically the same unit, just redesigned to fit the ABS equipped cars. Either way, it is designated "for racing use only." I don't think you will have any problems though, as the filter is up in the engine bay where water isn't going to get to it.

Re: Comptech VS Mugen Intake (ITRacer121)
Has ANYONE modified their A/C lines to run the Mugen intake? Please IM me... I'm a Mugen-***** and I'd gladdly drop the $700-odd it would take to run the Mugen intake and keep my A/C.

I want my cake... and to eat it too! ....lol well ive had the mugen intake on my r almost a year now...and i still have a/c...the best way is to get the a/c lines evacuated, then move them to make the intake fit. then once the intake is installed, providing there is no bends or cracks in the lines then just have them recharged...i love my mugen intake!!! it has excellent throttle response..i just cant think of anything wrong with this intake. ok maybe the price!!! i must say even without a/c lines the mugen intake barely fits, its huge!!

I also run Mugen CAI, great throttle response on all power band and run a/c.
Youhave only to move 1 inch a/c lines. Very easy I made work from myself in 2 hours.
