i really don't understand what you are saying, but the 97 R's did not come with AC and only as an option. i'm pretty sure that 98, 00, and 01 the AC was standard.

I have a mugen intake.

I have A/C.

I have a 2001 ITR.

It fits. It just requires a lot of work to get the A/C lines out of the way properly.

i'm 100% sure that the 00' and 01' USDM ITR's came with ac standard. i'm only like 50% sure for 98's coming with ac standard.

edit: now i know that this is about the mugen intake.

97-98 ITRS did not come with A/C standard, but you could have them install it as an option.

the mugen intake comes in a non a/c version as I assume the a/c lines will hit the intake. since I am in vegas I wat to keep the a/c. the question is will it fit? and it was answered. thanks. As far as a/c it came standard on 98 00 and 01 and was an option for the 97.

It fits, but you have to move the A/C lines slightly.

You'll know what I'm talking about when you see the intake and look in your engine bay. It isn't that hard.

A/C will work and the intake will fit.

97: No A/C at all .
98: A/C option.
00 & 01: standard

Atleast that is my undertanding... may be wrong.

In Canada anyways:
97,98,99 A/C dealer installed option
00,01 A/C standard

I believe it was the same in the US with the exception being no '99's.

Wrong.

My '97 had A/C as an option, $1498 IIRC.

Well, it was a requirement for me, since the car started out as a daily driver in the DC area

Besides, I didn't have a choice, it was already installed by the SC dealer who traded it to the dealer I bought it from. Imagine that, the SC dealer couldn't find a buyer for it, so I got it
