I know the J's racing intake requires you to cut your hood or replace it with an aftermarket hood. Does the Mugen intake also require this on the 06-07?

 

they both do need the hoods modified in order to fit.

 

No cutting required with the GruppeM intake:

J's offers a snorkal alone that is thinner than the version offered with the intake kit. The snorkal alone does not require hood modifications for fitment, but does not flow as well as the version that requires cutting the Hood.

 

i'll cut your hood for you for a small (large) fee.

 

=) thanks
Guess there's no way around it. Gotta cut the hood either way.

 

no but seriously in you are in so cal i'd be glad to help you out/give you some pointers if you want to do it at my garage.

 

Unfortunately I live in Richmond Va.
I was trying to steer away from cutting a brand new hood for an intake, but I have looked around for a while at intakes and it looks like the Mugen and J's Racing are the two best choices.

 

yeah, i just cut mine... it's real easy and if you do it right and take your time you can make it look really really nice. bordering OEM quality.

 

Do you have any pictures?
