Looked just like a K&N filter to me but then I dunno much about it. Haven't heard of anyone installing it yet. Check SG forums?

jace, is your K&N filter make any difference?

Felt a bit smoother to accelerate (as if the engine is more willing to rev) when I accelerate and makes only a tinsy bit of difference in sound (it's noticeable in a car park but not outside). Only thing is I put it in when my engine was still being run in (around 10k I think? Can't remember now) so that could've been a big contributor to the increased smoothness.

Don't expect any outright HP gains though.

hmmm sounds nice... all i want to get is a smoother (if not quicker) stop-to-start acceleration. ^_^

Hope sum1 has install the mugen one and can tell us the difference

sometimes it's just psychological things. like just after u change oil+oil filter, feels ur car become smoother but actually it's not.

In all honesty considering what it is, I really doubt it'll have much improvement. If anything, it'll be along same lines as the K&N.
