How do these compare to the Mugen performance dampers by Yamaha? Is it intended to perform the same?
From my understanding and research, the Yamaha (Mugen) dampers are fine tuned to each specific chassis.

Yes, they are intended to perform the same. I don't have any data such as side by side testing but all of our testing has been positive. Products like this may not make an earth shattering difference but they offer a noticeable improvement to those paying close attention - similar to Rigid Collars.

One of the biggest things I noticed on my car was installing the Spoon Rigid Collars. I have the Mugen dampers on the way as we speak and I'm sure I will notice the difference once I have it installed. I already cut down the NVH by 75% switching from PRL rear mount to the Cobb and I think the dampers will take the remaining away.

Keep us posted about the NVH drop with the Mugen Dampers. I’m considering a set myself, and have a similar mod list

Did you ever get this installed? Curious your findings
I actually planned on doing it next weekend! I been focused on another project and put the FL5 aside for a bit. I'm decently active on this forum so I will report back once I go out on a drive.

I see you decided to post the Mugen dampers for sale. Curious why the change of heart.
