Is that a real mugen banner or knock off, because if it's knock off it only adds 2HP

I have heard of people blowing gaskets with the wrong combo!

Did you use a flash?
Or is it actually glowing like that by itself! Uninduced?
If so were looking at 40-55hp from RADIOACTIVITY ALONE!!!

im gonna have to disagree with you guys, i don't think it added any hp. it's quite formidable in the psychological department though because it gives the notion (be it false or true), that this car is packing mugen power. it's pretty intimidating.

i personally never found 'mugen power' intimidating.


i like mugens stuff, but even their twin loop exhausts and gi-normous $1000 dollar intakes don't make much of a difference unless your car weighs nothing. and even then, credit the car, not the mugen parts.

to me, it just means decent power gains and something really well fitting and nice. but something to be scared of? nah not really.

yes. i love installing mugen parts because you know there will be no issues with them. they fit better than factory parts. mugen is owned by honda now so mugen is kind of our ralliart,nismo,trd,etc.

WHY? So much more could have been done w/ $40. But if you like it that's all that counts

Eh. To me that money could have been spent elsewhere. (Even though I have a few stickers myself, no more thatn 20$ worth tho).

If you like it, thats cool. It does look good, though.
