Re: Finally Installed w/pics!: Weapon R Secret Weapon Intake.

I actually think it will. I'm not 100% sure because I don't have a strut bar, but check with gearbox, if I remember correctly he has a strut bar with this intake. *edit, gear beat me to it.....**

It could be a situation where some strut bars will work and others will not. Like the DC sports may not work because it's a straight peice, but a Neuspeed might be ok because it bends a bit.

This intake has several peices that fit together so you can actually turn it different directions when installing for somewhat of a custom fit.

Re: Finally Installed w/pics!: Weapon R Secret Weapon Intake.

pics of the pvc hose? i still have the original which is a bit too small and i had to stretch it over the holes and ziptie the middle to keep from bending. it works but id rather have something nicer and black if possible instead of grey.

this intake looks very similar to the injen one, so your DC strut bar should fit fine. which one do you have? the titanium one ? or the older model one that bends to the front and is a 3 piece strut bar.

either way, it will fit fine.

or you can just buy an INJEN short ram intake and 100% sure it will fit. either way it will fit. don't worry too much about it.

also, yes the neuspeed one is a LOT better than DC.

Re: Finally Installed w/pics!: Weapon R Secret Weapon Intake.

I was actually considering this weapon r secret weapon intake for my 06 civic. Do you guys have an older model civic? If so, to you think I will still have the problems that ya'll had with the weapon r? For example, the shortness of the MAF sensor, the hoses that don't fit or whatever, etc. I don't know a WHOLE LOT about engines but I'm looking into getting a short ram intake so that I can free up some engine bay area so that I can put a bigger battery under the hood. Thanks for your help.
