REVIEW: Weapon-R Secret Intake (pics/vid)
just some post preliminary thoughts ...
my car pulls more... feels especially better from about 7000 to redline. It feels better than it did with my DCRH/pep boys filter.
the pep boys filter is crap ... comparing it to the WR, it feels like a huge restriction.

i'll have to check clearance on that and if the tube has enough room.
aznboysrfr put the aem dryflow back on and see what happens

Rep Power: 813 okay about my ram air, i really don't think it will be long enough to reach the grill. now i'm also thinking about finding some 3 inch pipe from home depot and using that for alot cheaper. it just has to be tubing to clamp on the filter.
here's something interesting I found. Tons of info about velocity stacks:

Also be sure to check out b19coupe's post on the 2nd page ... he has a dyno of the Prototype Racing velocity stack with filter vs. generic ebay velocity stack with filter.
In all of this, I'm wondering how the SW1 compares to the PR Stack w/ filter.
I may have to include it in one of my upcoming dynos ...

Rep Power: 813 well looky what i got for $30 at autozone ricer section lol. hope it fits. this stuff is alot better than the weaponr one cause you can bend it and it keeps its shape. and its a nice dark black. we'll see what i can rig up
haha what are the chances, the wr has the cool cone thing that sticks to and covers your entire filter though. what is that first pic on the left on the back of the package? it looks like our engine bay

vietstylez, the wr does not come with the cone (thats the dragon filter and is not included). it only comes with hose. Well i did something, not at all what i was planning but i'll have pics tomorrow after a fix my alarm and amp that got disconnected. i think it looks good the way i did it....
oh and yea the two pics with the blue tubing is a 7thgen engine bay lol

Rep Power: 813 well when you accelerate fast like above 4k, it makes a psst sound when it shifts. usually only does it in first-->second and windows need to be open. i'll try to get it on video haha

nah .. what you need to do is take out part #2 that you see in the pic:
it'll flow MUCH more cool air into your engine bay. RS grilles work too (but I don't like them).
I need all the cold air I can get because my intake mani sits right in front there

that's ... interesting. Got a custom one made or something?
blah ... oh well. I think you would benefit from having that Honda one ... but one piece. Especially having it open in the area with the radiator cap ... would flow some nice air to your intake when driving ;P
