n00b Q here but is Injen the only brand which replaces the existing air filter cover? I was always under the impression that you had to drill holes or something permenant to hook up an aftermarket air intake.
Sorry for being n00b but what's that word mean in this context? "enclosed"? I'm assuming it means similar to the Injen where it replaces the stock components but can be swapped back later on.

Shall investigate. I don't think the current Mugen one really counts since it looks like a drop in panel filter.
Maybe with a bit more time and interest/demand, Injen and various other companies will start producing more parts for my Civic. Would rather not do a DIY job since I'm not very technically inclined.
enclosed pretty much means that the filter is not exposed in the engine bay...like this pic
coz at times the filte draws in hot air and end up at a loss...
there's still gains to be had even if its not a pod...
if its a real mugen panel filter im guessin its still going to be a more flowing material than stock ones...
and again...here's a pic of a panel filter with the airbox slightly modded for cooler air...
Without looking at the specs, would you consider the Mugen panel filter on the Mugen Civic website to be any better than my drop-in K&N filter which I've already installed? I'm under the impression that whilst they may improve air flow, that they wouldn't improve it that much to make it noticeable... hence why I doubted the Mugen drop-in would do much more than my current K&N.
