Thumbs up Mugen CAI Installation

Hello All,
Curious, if anyone here has installed a Mugen (Tokyo Engine) CAI?
Are these junk or a decent intake in your opinion.
My application is on a 1999 Mazda Protege, 1.6L DOHC

If so, Any preference on type and manufacturer of Filter ? K&N, MonsterFilter, etc.

Any suggestions for a correct installation, mistakes to avoid?

Thanks in Advance... and it's good to be here

Here's a Mugen for a Protege, I'm considering

Toko Mugen 'TYPE' intake. No sticker even to boost the HP more! Just an intake! sheesh.

Now, maybe if it had a mazdaspeed sticker...

You cant screw up on an intake its just a pipe. The Mugen ones seem to be nicley poweder coated.

For the install just kinda do it when you get it you should be able to figure out how it should look.

Yeah but you need to get the AMG Vtec Controller, its an essential addon.
