These days, factories that produce copies are getting very good at what they do.

Don't buy a replica if you can help it.

Hit up the Comptech Icebox. It's a American brand that is styled to work like the Mugen unit.

Comptech is a respected Yankee brand and it beats rocking a fake.

The picture is small, but I'll jump on and say it's possibly a fake. a)Where is the original Mugen decal? Only one style of decal came with the EP3 airbox. Nobody leaves such a cool decal off. b) The finish on the upper half of the box looks slightly wavy and not smooth. The original is mirror smooth.
