Mugen Intake for 5.5G Maxima???

I just came across this on Ebay:



AFAIK, Mugen only makes parts Hondas and I didnt see ANYTHING on Mugen's website (King Motorsports) with regard to any VQ35DE intakes.

In general, an intake is an intake but does anyone know how legit this product is?

The piping does look right. It looks like the Injen but it's blue.

Its probably some generic intake with a Mugen sticker. They probably meant to put a Nismo sticker.

Mugen is straight up honda and acura. Equivalant to TRD, Nismo, and RAlliart.

Like he put it on his car and it didn't feel like an extra 15 hp so he took it off and lost the instructions along the way. hehe

yeah these companies make knock-off and then put Nismo, Mugen, etc. on them. As stated above, this guy prob just screwed up and meant to put Nismo....
