Default Mugen Intake Duct?

Hey guys. I have to get a new bumper for my S, and i dont want to go OEM. Im looking at the Mugen bumper (its the fake version though ) and i was wondering if there is an air duct that fits right to the opening on this bumper to my stock airbox. If there is, where can i get it? And if there isnt, what can i do to make this functional? Thanks in advance for any answers.

You could possibly cut a snorkel to catch air from that inlet. The only intakes that take air from there that I know of are ASM, Mugen, and J's makes a special snorkel half for their intake system. ASM/J's are for their bumpers, but I think the holes are close and would work with the Mugen inlet.
However, these are very expensive intakes, so if you didn't want to buy the real Mugen bumper you probably won't be dropping $1-3k on an intake.

Well i do plan on going supercharged, so doing an intake thats that expensive is pointless. I was thinking about getting the Mugen intake if i could get a decent price on it. I saw one for like 800, just wondering if that is a good price. That intake should fit right up to the bumper right?

Honestly if your going to buy the style one I would seriously consider a front lip or a Js lip spoiler. The Mugen front bumper and intake alone cost more than a supercharger.

Anyway good luck.

BTW I have seen the style ones and they look horrible. Dont waste your money. Go with an OEM lip, Amuse lip, or Js lip...

Well i had the j's lip. I had a mishap, and i have to get something new. I really dont want to get an oem bumper with some kind of lip, because no offense to everyone else, but thats what everyone else does. Im trying to do something different for now, and down the road, when i want to spend 2k on a bumper, lol, ill buy the authentic one. But until i get some bills paid off, i have to go with the style one.
