I'm a big fan of the one I bought off 95CelGT. He makes them. They are top notch.

weapon r definatly has a better sound, and from what i remember its cheaper than the injen...with injen you get just about the same performance but your paying for the name...i have the weapon r with the ram air induction system that i bought as an add on to the intake

the weapon-r filter is useless. support the fabricators on this site and buy from speedtoe or 95celgt. you'll get just as good a product for half the price, not to mention a K&N to go along with it.

not to bust any of ya'lls balls, but an intake is an intake, depending on were you locate it , it might sound dif.. theres no dif... its a metal tube... also any filter will really work, theres no need to speed umm.. 45 bucks on a k&n..

sigh... So what you're saying is a cheap plastic weapon-r filter with a piece of foam in it is as good as a K&N reusable oiled cotton filter element? - aba This post has been edited by abatardi: Mar 31, 2004 - 12:21 PM |

Filters are Very different. Sure, I could use a crap filter that would flow as much as a K&N, but would it actually 'Filter' the air? OR, I could get one that I knew would filter the air, but would it flow like a K&N? Also, would it be re-usable? EDIT:buy from speed Toe. I hear only good things.

Either make your own or support the makers on the site. I have been told by everyone that has purchased from them that the products are top notch.

IMO, foam filter elements are bad. Replacing the foam gets expensive, if you can't reuse the element. Not to mention that certain foam elements use fairly large openings to allow for more flow at the expense of filtration (HKS TRF). I've heard of too many coming apart in intakes to ever use one on my car, even if the evidence is anecdotal at best. K&N is the best compromise for me of filtration, flow, and maintenence.
I'd like to know what the A'Pexi intakes are made of, they seem to be some material that never needs cleaning, and flow well too. Link to the imfamous air filter comparison done in Japan. |

Totally absolutely incorrect. The length and diameter of the tubing makes a big difference in the end result. Also the inlet to the tube matters, but not as much. I suggest you buy one of 95celgt's intakes and make an insualted box around it to get cold air to it. I really think thats the ticket for the GT cars. |
