i have been driving my car stock as a rock bought second hand... come time to install my mugen, i realised that the previous owner actually removed the resonator box in stock intake... installed my mugen and response like no tomorrow! have had no regrets spending that thousand dollars...

and i'll have to dig up my dyno sheets, but compared to 'stock' and 'mugen', i got 5 kw atw extra. most importantly, response was heavily improved.
In all honesty, if your car is for the street, there is no point in spending thousands of dollars for an intake.

Not saying you don't track your car, but if you don't, and you simply checked the resignator box - by fitting a resignator box, you'd have pretty much the same response as the Mugen, and the power gains would be hardly noticable with out a dyno.

So if some people are NOT fussy, why waste "thousands".

PS: Mugen air boxs can be had for $700 - $750.
