I installed a secret weapon intake on my 00 civic ex about a month ago. You only hear it when accelerating a little hard, but it's very noticeable when you do so. Also there's a little whistle noise right before I switch gears, can be heard at the end of each gear.
If people say they don't feel power they're not very smart. Anything that lets an engine breath a lot better instead of restricting air flow makes a noticeable difference.
I'm going to do a b16a2 engine swap, I believe it'll fit when I do that later this year, but I'm also thinking about boosting. Until then SW intake gets a thumbs up for me.
no the two pipes are in bubble wrap? lol maybe its a seatbelt pad
No it's not a seatbelt pad. It's the Ram Air II kit. When I do the install I'll see if it's worth a darn. The bracket seems pretty firm, I'll see how that goes too. I think I have access to a welder, so one way or another that baby is going to be mounted on there good.

ordered from weaponspeed.com i think, and they sent me the UNI brand foam oil and cleaners. very good stuff. wait you didnt get oil with yours? its supposed to come with two things (cleaner and oil) even the weapon-r kit has both. you got robbed lol, and you need the oil to use on the filter.

Shit. I'll have to look through the stuff again. I got cleaner, but I didn't see the oil. I guess I'll call them and see what's up. If there isn't oil I'll have to get some. Maybe I can find it locally?
I was hoping to install it this weekend but this might put the plans on hold. At the very least I want to maybe do a loose fitting on the car and see what I can work out with the bracket.
We'll see what happens.

The oil is not included I went through this same problem a few weeks ago, had to order the oil separate. As for finding the oil locally please note that it isn't recommended to use any other oil (like the K&N brand) on the WR intake.

Well, no luck locally. The install will have to wait for a bit longer. I'm going out to weaponspeed or something now to get the oil on the way. I'm hoping that I'll get it by next weekend so I can hopefully get this installed around family Easter time.
I guess it wont hurt waiting another week, I'm taking the car for an oil change on Tuesday, so might as well have the car running well before I install the Intake.
I went to Autozone to ask for the filter oil and the conversation went something like this:
Me: Do you have foam filter oil?
Guy: What kind of oil?
Me: Foam filter, it's treatment oil for a foam filter.
Guy: So you want oil for your filter?
Me: Yes
Guy: You have a foam oil filter?
Me: No, I have foam intake filter and I'm looking for the oil that goes on it to treat it.
Guy: Oh, ok. I know what you are taking about now. We don't sell those. If you look in those Import Tuner magazines we have, you'll find all kinds of stuff that you need in there. Or go to spoon.com.
Me: Uh. . Ok thanks..
So that was fun. I did pick up a Haynes book though (quick reference) and I figured I might as well pick up a PCV Valve. I probably don't "need" one but might as well sense I'll be working in that area of the car.

"spoon.com" sounds like a very informative conversation. you should go back and tell him you went online and it was a gourmet foods site and just watch the dumbfoundedness in his eyes.

Got a question for those with weapon R intake . Do we have to treat the filter prior to install? If so why? will not treating the filter affect performance?
lol i actually dont remember, i thought from racinglab.com but idk. been way too long. and i got a second can of oil free at the last car show i was at too bad you dont live nearby or you couldve just come over and used mine
