Any of you with the Injen intakes do you all use the Injen Hydro-Shield Pre-Filter? or do you think that it's best to not use one?

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

Will the Weapon R SRI fit an AT? Thanks

the secret weapon fits an auto see...

Thanks Gear! Man, your engine bay is sweet looking. You could probably eat off it :_bow:

I have a V2 intake. I love it!. it's a nice intake. I prolly gained like maybe 2 more HP with it at the most...LOL. ohwell! I'll get some pics of my engine bay soon.

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.

AEM sucks SRI sucks my balls i dont know about CAI but SRI sucks the braket brakes off go with something else

if they suck then y do u have one on ur car?

I must've got a good one then. Bought it used and have 30,000 miles on it with no problems...

here are the pics of my V2 in my engine bay.

beecause i didnt think it would break off its common tho im going with gearboxes intake

gotcha
 

oh ok i see, hope i dont have any problems. But in ur sig it said u still have it on ur car, so i was wonderin...

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.

today i kinda fixed it....i took off the intake and check for any damage besides the giant whole....and just put eletrical tape on it...i noticed a diff in the sound not performance ....now its deeper but yeah i still have the AEM SRI :(

throw that away and get anything else. aem is teh suck

true.. the bracket piece just snapped 2days ago.. now iam gonna look someone to weld it.

im just letting it hang for now it dosent make any noise and well dosent get in the way of anything so its good for now im just trying to get my exhaust all done My check list is almost done....Audio besides the amp is done...interior besides the climate control is done....Wheels done...suspension Pending nothing done!!! Street tune I/H/E Pending ....damn HP special racce header....:( Last step save up for k20 and have sex with my gf in my caerwith the new Engine O_O........

hahahah just take some jb weld and weld it together with a bent peice of metal to re-enforce it.

and second, when u do have sex post it on pornotube.com so we all can watch =]

hahha jk

i was kinda thinking to get a nother peice of intake from some random car and see if i can convert the pipe to a CAI or somewhere where it will get a butt load of AIR!

well it will be a while till i get enought money to get the engine so if someone donates a engine or money they will get pics :) JK shed get mad and slap me never have sex with me O_O! and we cant have that!

i dont wanna lose tourqe either

u wont lose or gain to much with any of them

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.

OBX SRI
on a 02 auto.

Fit: 1. took alot of work and cutting off an inch at the the manifold, but i finally got it to clear the strut bar and tranny.

Power: 5 very noticable pwoer gains throughout rpm range. i drive customers civics and notice the difference reguarly

Loudness: 5. good lord is it loud. my buddies swear ive got an exhaust on the car when they ride near me. the always tell me they have to do a double take!

i do have an ultra high flow filter. but it costing me 83 dollars with the filter at employee cost i really cant complain about having to cut it to fit better!

Weapon R
 

I just ordered the Weapon-R Secret Weapon and it should be here on Monday! Any suggestions before i go installing it? I heard that it has a couple of fitment issues. I have an 04 Ex Coupe MT. Let me know, any help would be appreciated. :help:

hey gearbox, AEM doesn't suck. i have the V2 and i love it!. it's still strong and is nice and loud!

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.

well whens that supposed to happen exactly?, cause it hasn't yet and it's been like 6 months already. you know what i think it is?. those people that had that happen to them were probably from colder places. basically, when you get into your car for the first time after it's been sitting for a while and the intake and everything under your hood is cold as ice!. the first thing they do is mash the gash and put the pedal to the floor!. well with that braket being cold. a sudden jolt of the engine would do that crack. i don't do anything like that untill it has warmed up underneath my hood. basically, i think it's all about temperature. i just have this thought in the back of my head. a gutt feeling. i could be wrong.:shrug:

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.
