Gruppe M all the way baby!!!
I've been searching for this intake for quite sometimes but it seemed like the US distributor went out of business or that they didn't wanna bring in the application for CL.

do you have any bigger pictures of the gruppeM inake. I like the looks of it a lot and have been looking for a JDM intake. Also do you know how much it costs.

Have seen and heard both intakes on Euro Rs over here - it really depends on what type of look and sound you like since they cost about the same with shipping (to us on this side of the Pacific anyway).
Mugen - enclosed air box/panel filter design - more free flowing of course, but still fully enclosed so the sound is more muted than GruppeM. Lovely kit with air horn/funnel from box to back of the bumper + a deflector plate at the bumper to channel air in. Take care with screw threads on the box - you don't want to strip them as they are made of carbon fiber!
GruppeM - open pod with funnel-like carbon fiber heat shield - so more raw, more aggressive obviously - may more low end loss compared to Mugen. Less stuff in kit - just the SRI open pod filter with the shield over it - but the carbon fiber shield looks bloody good and wraps around the filter on three sides - air is taken from the same hole but no funnel or pipe given.

Gives lots of low/midrange gains and not so much on the top end.

THat's the intake from ARC. I didn't know they made any applications for the accord, but I have a feeling that's a 2.0l cl7 and not a cl9. I don't know if it would still fit.

just do a search for "arc super induction box" and "arc intake power chamber" which are two different products which can be used together.
Gotta love the japanese and there hyper cheesy names.
