I saw that one while I was cruising ebay yesterday. It looks like a Mugen knock-off. It may work just as good but who knows until it's been tested.

And remember...you get what you pay for...

It's a knock off made either in Taiwan or China. The fools even had the dyno chart showing the Mugen intake with a special ECU - that's just bad judgment. But since most everyone don't read Japanese, I guess they figure they can get away with it.

It was only a matter of time before you'd see a Mugen copy. If it ever got destoyed in shipping, you'd never see that money again.
My .02. If they rip-off the dyno, what would be odds their customer service is top notch?

It is being shipped directly from Hong Kong. The last thread on this item 4IG said the reserve was 500.00.
