Most of the aftermarket intakes available for the NSX offer little to no performance gains. In fact, a few out there actually degrade performance…a testament to Honda engineering. With this in mind, I decided to replace the filter and keep things as is. But why not get my style on? So I picked up this snazzy light-weight (dry) carbon fiber air box lid from Comptech.

i don’t think it’s dry carbon, the mugen intake looks and performs better

Hi Ed, according to to a few threads on Prime, the piece is dry carbon. It weighs close to nothing. As far as the Mugen intake goes, I agree… it is one of the FEW intakes that performs better then stock. The gains are minimal though from what I have seen. The only thing I do not like about the Mugen (or the downforce replica) is the narrowness of the intake and space it leaves in the engine bay (not to mention the price…ha!). Aesthetically, it’s not my cup of tea. Keep in mind this Comptech lid is just a cover.
