If you're unhappy with the cold air, you will be more unhappy with those other two intakes

SHG_EazyE did some testing and iirc, the Mugen airbox lost power compared to an OEM airbox with a different filter. it may have been gutted thoguh

I own a mugen.. and all I have to say... Is why would Mugen put all the R&D into something that doesnt provide gains all sorts of levesl.. They wouldnt sell it thats why...

and are you sure evan tested a mugen? I thought it was the gutted oe box.. I also heard theres more gains from the cai..

Im still wondering what to call mine!


more of the duct!
