I think the mugen snorkel is shorted but wider while the J's Racing is taller and thinner(My brother has the mugen, and I did his isntall.). The Mugen snorkel requires a larger cut out from your stock hood then the J's Racing does. The J's racing snorkel will not fit the Top Secret bumper without cutting.
We were not talking about the TS bumper. It was the hood. The cut is almost the same on the hood. Infact when I trimmed my OEM hood for my Js intake 3 years ago it was simple. Then I swapped to the Mugen intake and had to trim maybe 1/4 inch more which is nothing.

Indeed you are. The 2 main things i need to know now is

1.Will the Top Secret hood close with the Mugen snorkel without scraping the hood with the rain channels on. is that cutout long and wide enough?

2. Will the Mugen snorkel work with my bumper without having to cut into it.

The version 2 snorkel will fit the bumper without cutting(although it will work alot better if you do cut the bumper). I don't have a version 1 so I can't tell you if it fits or not.

Cool thanks did not know their were 2 versions i'm guessing ver 1 is designed to work with Mugen frt bumper and 2 is for bumpers with no cutout in frt.

Will ver2 go down into the frt airdam like the J'S?

no, it goes the other way around. Ver 1 is the one that dips down into the front bumper opening. Ver 2 will work with bumpers with a cutout. Ver 1 has been discontinued for some time now.

HAHA. That wasnt on his original post.

Anyway I would ditch the TS front bumper and go OEM with a Mugen splitter or something else and then you can run any of those intakes.

Nah i love that bumper too much. It sounds like the Mugen might fit fine with the bumper np prob i just need to make sure the intake will not interfere with the hood with the rain guards on.
