Mugen intake
1) This price is a good price or just a fair deal?
2) Compared to the oem intake will I notice differences? Sound, car response, dyno HP?
3) I have the OEM hood and bumper. I know I need to cut the hood but in therms of bumper? Shouldn't it have an open space for air intake like the mugen bumper?
4) J'racing / PWJDM / AEM V2 are much superior?
Thank you!
2) all of the above
3) the bumper does not need to be cut
4) Mugen is the best of the best, maybe only the ASM is better.
If it is legit then yeah thats a hell of a deal. I think I paid $800 for mine.

Sound isn't very different due to being enclosed. Response may be a little better. Honestly you won't see dyno gains from just an intake. Maybe very slightly.

Yes you have to cut the hood but the bumper does not need to be modified.
J'racing / PWJDM / AEM V2 are much superior?
J's is pretty similar. Nice intake chamber though and the mugen doesn't come with an intake arm (reuses the OEM which looks uglier).
PWJDM fitment can be difficult and the quality is not the same as mugen. Mugen is dry carbon. AEM V2 is not anywhere rear the same class.
