Hey, I just wanted to know what a Mugen Intake sounded like. Does it sound like CAI? Anyone have a clip or something?

And is it pretty easy to install yourself?

 

I have not heard it first hand, but from what everyone I talked to said it slightly louder than stock.
You can install it yourself, but it requires a piece of the hood to be cut in order for it to close.

 

not to offend you but its like the biggest waste of money

 

cut the hood.. oh man...

yeah mugen is expensive for little power.

 

how about j's? will it fit without cutting anything?

 

The Mugen intake is all about "BLING".

 

Nope, J's requires a cut of the hood as well.

 

so other option is to replace that OEM filter to a different one

 

A popular choice is the K&N FIPK along with the AUT cooling plate. Seems to work well and it not that $$.

 

the mugen intake is slightly louder than stock. Throaty but nothing like a cai. Which i like because it doesnt grab alot of attention like my aem did. That means i can vtec the car on public roads without every cop on the block perking up to see whats racing down the street.

The midrange power is definilty improved, especially pre-vtec. High end hp is the same if not mildy improved. Oh yes, and NO heatsoak! BIG plus.
