i posted some pics and review on it. the only thing is you need to extend the temp sensor wires cause stock they are too short. just pm me if you need help installing it. and the cheapest place that has it is weaponspeed.com also dont forget you need the foam oil cleaning kit cause it doesn't come preoiled.

i think the typhoon looks better under the hood. but gearbox is always saying the weapon r performs better so i guess your best bet is to go with the weapon r. but then again they both are very good intakes.

no, its exactly 170 from that site. i paid 180 for the typhoon so technically the weapon-r is cheaper.
