Trying to save some do$h on a Mugen intake, but it's used there's no intake pipe (just the box and the horn, bolt to ITR intake pipe). I don't think that's going to perform up to snuff.

Even for a deal off list, at several hundred bucks for a stinkin intake, I think I'd rather jsut spend the extra at King and get the full unit.

What do you guys think?

 

They don't come with the tube that attaches the intake box to the throttle body (you need to use the stock piece with it).

 

Thanks. I did'nt know, and I guess the seller didn't either. So does it just come with the box and the intake horn?

 

Depends on <u>WHICH</u> version of the Mugen intake...

The newer version with the S2K type filter element bolts to the ITR intake elbow

The older version (96 spec) has an aluminum pipe which connects the K&N filter to the elbow (SEE PIC)

 

This is what the Mugen intake looks like (bottom pic):



As Ed said, the stock intake arm is used

 

everthing in the picture minus the comptech icebox in the middle.

 

Hey guys, the official mugen intake is definitely CF right? Cause I got some ppl here in Oz trying to sell me the mugen intake, but they tell me it is fibre glass, not CF. So which is it?

Also it is going for $950 AU shipped to my door.

 

i think it is only cf. i could be wrong though. cf are the only ones that i have seen. mugen intakes ware way dope. wish i could afford one.

 

sorry, mugen intake is hand laid fiberglass.

 

comptech icebox looks so dinky compared to mugen

correct.

 

this is some good info. now i know the reason why my mugen intake came with a k&n filter.

 

i wonder if it's possible to hook up J's racing intake and mugen intake together.

i'm sure it will be NUTS

 

While we are at it, heres mine.

Stock arm will be fine.

 

I heard its a tuff fit with a/c is this true?

 

It isn't too bad. You just got to gently bend the a/c lines so that they don't rub the intake.
