Default J's racing or Mugen Intake: Which would you choose?

I was just wondering b/c I am looking for overall better throttle response but the difference in price ($75 in my case) makes me wonder what would be the better deal?

So far I really like my J's the difference in throttle response is pretty amazing but I'd assume you'll get pretty similar results with the Mugen. With a $75 price difference I'd say go with whichever you'd prefer.

I've been wondering

How does both versions of the Mugen intake perform differently (usdm vs jdm version)
Do they produce the same numbers???

hehe Shane they barely fit in the DC2 Its like they are molded into any open space left in the area

$75 difference? You'd have to be crazy not to buy the Mugen Intake.

The J's fit easy as cake. I don't know what problems you had....

Mugen can fit with a/c but it takes a lot of work and brains.

All dumbasses. Keep wishing that the mugen intake would be less expensive. But its not going to happen. OKkkkkkk. Just get the J's or Icebox to save some damn money.
