I would also not recommend Weapon-R intakes because i heard the filter is made really cheap. Sell it and go with AEM, K&N, or INJEN

I think it sucks...I got mine the other day for my 01 civic, and it doesnt fit. You cant close the hood, and if you have a strut tower bar, forget about using it. It wont fit with a bar. I am returning my asap. If you want extra HP, and the sporty noise, take off the stock resinator and buy the ram air kit from weapon-r for 40 bucks and hook up using the stock air box and a K/N filter.

i got one on my car.. i kinda like it.. but then again i havent been able to experiment with other intakes.
you do have to kinda ghetto rig some stuff, but it works pretty good. go to my ride to see it in the engine bay

Rep Power: 367 i bet they made it for the 6th gen 96-00 dx/lx, and then basically said it'll fit ours too.. by rigging some cheesy way to bolt the intake tubes onto the engine..
(ie: InJen's SRI, which is the SAME stuff for 96-00 dx/lx.. sheesh..)
I wouldn't recommend either too... :\

Rep Power: 0 u can buy it from sites that say its for our car except i hear the fitment is poor. I have heard from people that the intake filter is pretty shittty too... maybe you should go with one thats been proven for gains like the fipk2 unless u want looks and want that weird looking space alien ball under your hood lol
i really wish they had spent more time making it. my frined has a weapon r on his gallant and it sounds bad as hell. ive got an aem and i like it well enough to keep it, but i still wish i could have that sound. awhile ago i was originally just going to buy a weapon r filter but i figured the aem k&n filter that came with the intake was fine as is and it was pointless to waste money. mabey whenever i change my filter ill try out a dragon filter.
