Icon2 How much would you PAY for this?

I am looking to get another intake to run in the winter, since my ARC setup gets hella dirty and wanna keep it clean, so I wanted a MUGEN airbox, and came across this, an Exact replica but in carbon fiber....Whats the most you would pay SHIPPED for this?

Nothing like what you posted. You are SO concerned with a look that you don't even care if it makes power. Seriously, who is going to be able to see it unless you are a hard parker? Just get a K&N conical filter and get a PVC coupler at home depot and put it on then end of a stock induction hose.

That appears to be the EPRacing replica intake, which is available here: http://www.epracing.co.uk/Carbon-Acc...1165/#image237

There is another replica as well by TEGIWA who is a sponsor: https://honda-tech.com/forums/performance-45/%2A%2A%2A%2A-tegiwa-air-intake-products-eg-ek-dc-%2A%2A%2A%2A-2745076/

The EPRacing one supposedly is rougher on the inside and smoother on the outside than the Mugen intake is, and I am unsure of the TEGIWA.

There is pricing on both of those sites to give you an idea of what you should be paying for them new.

sure its ugly, but you won't even see 90% of it when it is installed on the car, just the nice shiny CF part. i would not pay $225 for it. maybe like $100.
