I don't see a POLL but I would choose the "niether" option if I did.
Of your 2 picks the V2 wins only because the password intake is strictly a show piece and makes 0 power. That's right, none.

A Mugen intake is hands down the best intake for an R. It's been proven.

True, there are better ways to spend $800 but spending less would be a waste too. Multiple dyno test have shown that the Mugen piece gets the best power gains thru out the rev range. So, spending on anything but the m00gen is a waste I guess. I had the J's whale cack on my ITR I loved it, but I got a sick deal on it.

There is a cheaper option... AEM CAI, the first version. I have mine for 8 years with ZERO Problems!
Makes power in the upper RPM range, but some say that it lacks throttle response.

Awesome... for a guy with 6 posts...

Please keep that BS and those kind of comments off of this forum... consider this your final warning.

<---- has Mugen intake as well and have had several others... Mugen has outperformed them all.

What do you guys think of the comptech intake? I've got one, and it seems to perform pretty well. Then again, its the only intake I've had on my R so I can't really compare it to anything.

What are you goals? Why ITB's? Why PowerFC?

I think you need to talk to Craig... His R has been sitting for about 2 or so years now... I would offer you this... please find and speak to a local PowerFC tuner first. It's hard to come by someone who tunes with PowerFC these days. That and the ITB's make it that much more complicated... so before jumping in and buying a bunch of parts... check with a tuner first. I only know of 1 singe person in the USofA who could/would/will do it.

Lets keep in mind that only a brand new Mugen airbox is going to run you $750 or $800...whatever it is new these days.

More often than not, you'll find a used airbox for much less. I paid $500 for mine used less than a year ago.
