Finally Installed w/pics!: Weapon R Secret Weapon Intake.

how can it flow more air than an open pipe? it doesnt matter how efficient a filter is, it will always introduce some restriction.

it just works off the same principle as using bellmouth ramtubes. A Itb setup doesnt flow very well with out them. it just gives the air an easier transition into the tube. if you put a bellmouth on the end of an open pipe i bet it would flow more then w/ the filter or with just open pipe.

[gearbox]

yup, has a velocity stack. they even showed the test readings. kn flowed the worst, then the open pipe, then the wr which was the highest flow. the inside of the filter looks just like an itb actually.

[Misbah]

Is the difference marginal or exceptional? Flow rates are one thing and a good standard for testing the pipe, but how much more usable power difference is there ? I would think better since it does flow more, but, marginally better.

GO ROCKETS.

What is it gear, maybe 4HP? Slightly noticeable.

an old member tried one on his rsx and said he felt a big difference. on the civic its not much but any lil bit helps.

I wonder if it's because......

More often then not people relate noise levels to performance. I.E. the "ricer complex". Not calling you one, but i've had an eGay intake and now my current Injen SRI intake...and I felt no difference between the two. Injen is by far louder though...

maybe, idk. it just felt better than stock to me so i never went back. i changed around the bay so much i doubt i could ever use a stock airbox anyway lol

[pheaton]

I guess if it sounds cool and looks cool it's all good. If it gives me HP or two, hey bonus!

[gearbox]

to be honest, the sound was all that mattered, and maybe the looks for shows and such. the car is still slow lol.

[Dticalman81]

I have been using the stock airbox ever since I bought the car back in 2002. This is the healthiest 'long term' for the car, isn't it?

[gearbox]

i guess, paper filters well enough. the oiled foam is a bit better, but not by much.

[DaddyFatSacks]

What do you think of the Fujita filters and AEM Dry Flow?

[pheaton]

I've heard Fujita sucks. Dry flow is probably ok, but as gear said I think the oil treated foam is about as good as it gets.

[gearbox]

dryflow is good, its just paper cone filter. restrictive and filters well.
