Default Mugen intake, well copy

Okay i have been offered a mugen intake copy, it made out of carbon fibre and as far as the details go its the same okay no mugen, filter looks good too.

I consider this the last link in the chain, but are they really that good performance wise?

I believe i have to cut the bonnet - could i extend the snorkle bit?, im not up for that!, i believe it gets the air from just below the front grill?

I dont want an AEM or k&N fipk

Have had two Mugen intakes and one copy. The main difference is a better sound and less kangeroo impersonations. Copies are usually thicker walled than the real thing, not a great problem overall.
