do you even know who Mugen is?

I suggest doing some research on parts and companies that make them.

okay, that aside... to the OP:

I completely agree with you, and I myself ordered the Mugen carbon fiber intake
about two months or so ago. It has not arrived yet though.
Everything Mugen makes for our car is a perfect fit.
They have a part or two for the CL7 (Euro Accord) that don't fit perfect on our car,
like their CL7 (K20 engine) header, but every part made for our TSX (CL9)
is an absolute perfect fit. Mugen fit can be clasified as OEM fit.
a little harsh, no? i know you didnt mean to attack, but it kinda sounded like it, and for wreak, all of his info is true, but you could also do a little bit more research lol.

i really like how the gruppe looks in the engine bay. any problems that people have had? or gruppe vs mugen +/-?

oh yeah?
well what do metallic intakes have to do with Mugen?
why is Mugen not as good quality as OEM Honda?
and then how does he know what he's talking about?
and how does that relate to the OP wanting info on the Mugen intake?

OP states, "Anyways, Im only interesting in putting quality parts on my tsx, and had a
Mugen Intake on my type r, and loved it."

and the response is to hack up the OEM airbox, eliminating the ability to
go back to stock to make a "homemade" CAI.
...

...

I stand by my comment, thanks anyway though.

I'm confused I was reading this thread but I don't remember posting in it...why did you mention me here? I've been around Honda's my entire life and know plenty about Mugen. Maybe you got me mixed up with another user?
