03 EX Coupe with Weapon-R Dragon SRI
Fit - 4. I had the same little issue of lengthening the sensor wire. BFD. Not really a problem at all. Otherwise it fit perfectly.
Power - 3 BEFORE I opened up the exhast, the WR gave me moderate to good extra power on the freeway and at higher RPMs. It wasn't as noticable at city speeds, though the throttle was definately more responsive.
4 AFTER the Magnaflow was added, the power difference is now felt though the powerband, at both city and freeway speeds. The car is BY NO MEANS "fast," but it is significantly quicker and seems to run much smoother. My gas mileage increased 1-2 mpg as a result of both of these basic mods.
Sound - 4. I love the tone of this intake, especially when coupled with the Magnaflow. Overall, the car has a very balanced sound, not too sleepy, not too ricey. The intake can be heard from inside the car only upon harder acceleration. You know? That air sucking sound you'd expect from any SRI. Its a healthy sound without being obnoxious and still delivering that little bit of extra power.
Hope this helps.

05 ex coupe with Weapon-r Secret Intake SRI
Fit: 4. Was a pain in the but to get the bracket bent and put on to "hold" up the intake piping and filter. then the hose they provided was pretty small to fit up on the outlets on the intake to the outlet on the engine(or breather). overall tho pretty easy to get it together.
Power: Havent tested will update after driven
Sound: same as power need to test
Pics will b available later in the day. thx

Rep Power: 280 
AEM SRI (01 Ex)
Fit: 4 - Because the breather hose that came with the sri needed to be shortened a little bit.
Power: 4 - I say 4 because for only 6.6hp gained it feels alright
Loudness: 5 when gunning it, (my friend behind me said he could hear it), 2 (idling), 3.5 daily driving
I recommend it.

Rep Power: 787 i've had my weapon-r secret for over a year, the filter is starting to show its dirt all over and i think im gonna buy a spare just cause the foam takes forever to clean. Now using the stock intake and various aem and K&N types as well, my throttle body and iac valve was a mess of black buildup and dirt. well when i put the weapon-r on i cleaned all that up. now almost 1.5 yrs later, there is not a spec of dirt or black stuff anywhere in the intake tube or throttle body valves. just gotta keep the filter oiled and it outperforms anything else even paper.

Rep Power: 219 Weapon r Secret Weapon
Fit:5 Fit perfect
Power: 2.5
Sound:4 Pretty Loud
Value:2.5
Its a nice looking intake and added some top end power but i lost so much tourqe i had no choice but to reinstall the stock air box. I feel like i paid to much to at 250 shipped. I do miss the sound though. plan on getting the iceman. heard it is the best for overall power, especially tourqe.

Rep Power: 0 i love my AEM V2 intake. it's smooth! although, it's strange how after i installed my V2 intake in my car. i noticed after driving around with it for the first 2 months. that the tubing itself was starting to get some little black marks on it as if they were HEAT related marks. has anyone else had this problem?. for the most part. it has stopped now. but, i'm curious about this issue. thanks.

Rep Power: 787 eh, come back when the bracket breaks and leaves a nice hole in your intake.
anyway, weapon-r secret, depending on the car, you may have to extend the intake temp sensor wires so it reaches the side of the pipe. you will also most likely need to wrap a few rounds of electrical tape around the sensor so it fits tight in the hole. now the bracket you need to bend so it connects with the stock mounting point. i also bought another bracket and connected it off the cruise box as a second support. other than that everythings fine. ive had mine well over a year without problems. just make sure you oil the filter alot front and back before installing, they DO NOT come preoiled and you need the special foam filter cleaning kit to do it. its a pain to install right, but after that you will be happy with all the cool noises it makes and the best throttle response of any intake ive tried.

Rep Power: 787 nah its just bad design. the intake must be able to move a little with the engine. the engine moves anytime you press the gas, doesnt have to be hard accel. K&N solved this problem by putting a big rubber washer inbetween the mounting points so the intake can flex. has nothing to do with temperature. metal doesnt suddenly become weaker in the cold.
