Becareful buying the J's as I have seen several people say it did not fit correctly even after cutting the hood.

I would say that there are but the Mugen does not do much untill the car gets going, the up side to J's is better throttle response do to the intake chamber (not to mention its cheaper).

Neither intake should show much if anything on a dyno (note: Shop fans dont simulate driving conditions ) these are ram air intakes and do not show gains when the car is standing still. Think of it as a snorkal in the stock intake box but in these cases the box is smothed out and directs the air more efficiently and reduces intake air temps do to drawing air from outside the mengine bay.

I would recommend the intake from E-autosports (available in group by section under CF cold air intake ) it is very similiar to the Mugen peice, but its about 1000.00 dollars cheaper , I have it on my car and absolutely it! There is also one for sale in the so cal forums.

To everyone saying its just bling, it makes no power, etc.. etc.. Have any of you used it??? Or are you just making things up based on your on theory of what intakes work and which ones dont?

Not true I just sold my FIPK and the only thing that was better was throttle response, since switching to the Mugen style the car feels much better at speed than with the FIPK, not to mention in stop and go traffic (Cali issue ) the K&N tends to bog due to air temps under the hood increasing when the car is not moving. Switching to a vented hood could fix that a little bit though .
