Thank you!
1) it's a steal of a deal at that price
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.

Thanks for the feedback guys!!

My mind was more into the PWJDM / J's Racing. I like to see the underhood full of carbon. But in other hand this deal in therms of value seems pretty fair.

Sunday I'm going to see it

It's easy to see if it's original Mugen or replica?

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.
PWJDM also is dry carbon, no?
