It's their "secret weapon" better buy it up before someone else gets those plans!
Actually, just get some aluminum and make that setup yourself with a better filter, its easy as hell.

15% hp increase? yeah, maybe on a civic...
and i think the filter is fine, but that whole package is just a waste of money. the only thing it has going for is that it looks kind of cool and has "name-brand contstruction"...
oh, plus it actually states it fits an RX-7...
really with our cars intake velocity is not an issue. especially NAs which really rely on things like the dynamic chamber and the VDI...actually if you screw up the intake charge too much you may actually be making performance worse

Dont fall for that crap. I bought one of those off e bay. It sucked. Soon after I got it those guys were taken off e bay, Looks like they have a new name but same old BS. K& N and a little backyard engenering will do the job.

^ seriously, i spent 40 bucks on my intake setup and thats kinda pricey. i found a nice big cone filter that fit perfectly onto the afm and a breather filter for the air pump. then i ducted some fresh air to it all(this is important) and it has worked fine for over 5 years.

I used a weapon R product on a Honda years ago, it did not make any power down low, only in the last 1500 rpm of the tach and it was hardly noticable when it came on. I called them about a support bracket that was not included and they laughed in my face and told me " that is only used by **** people" and then hung up. They suck. Weapon R sucks. Work sucks too, but you can avoid weapon R
