I would disagree.

Yes the OEM has interior panels which does dull out some noise, but the Mugen was designed with aerodynamics in mind and is actually quieter (probably more so than OEM, but not by much) when it comes to wind noise while driving.

Both have squeks and sounds when goin up driveways and over bumps (mugen might be a little louder when it comes to these sounds)

That looks real good. Anybody know what kind of rims those are??



*BTW* lilazngrl4o8 do you still have the OEM or did you sell it for money for the mugen?

Not really, just add a 3/4 in. bump stop. All you lose is opening the truck 3/4 in. less.
