I just bought a new Weapon R intake for my second gen. Has anyone eles ever put one of these on their car? I know this alot better then the stock air intake that the second gen has, so i hope its worth the evestment. And does anyone know how to put these Weapon R on?

Yeah except you have to replace the element in Apex'i Intakes every time they get clogged. They are "zero" maintenance because you throw the filter away.

K&N would have been a smarter choice

not for the rx7 but for other cars i have heard of the weapon-r filters disintegrating from more than one person. get a k&N its much better

hmmm, makes me think i should have asked you guys first before buying it. But its not like i have installed it or anything. I can always return it.

i have a weapon R filter on my car and i like it....foam filters catch more then the simple K&N filters.....the short ram is stupid do not get it unless u dont have the adapter which connects to ur maf....otherwise just buy the filter..... thats a old engine bay pic but in the bottom left corner is my dragon filter.....i like it and it made a differencve on catching dirt...etc compared to the cotton filters....they use foam filters in dirt racing....n e who thats my opinion....

every manufacturer has articles saying their **** don't stink...

weapon r products in my opinion are garbage, I had on for my old car. It looked like a blind man with arthritis welded it. Not to mention they forgot almost all the hoses i needed. Then when i called them about it. They put me on hold, or the person i needed to speak to was on lunch , or didnt even pick up the phone. it took almost a solid week to finally talk to Leo who i guess is the head guy and finally he helped me out. Not good customer service

that's your opinion...

I don't want to start this arguement again but I still think if you have an S5 that the apex-i is the best by far.

not like it really makes all that difference though...

I can get a K&N filter for 35 dollars shipped how much more do you want? My friend used to have APEX'i and now he has K&N,

I have K&N too btw.

Weapon R **** is for riced out civics get a real one take that **** back and get a HKS megaflow or K&N I have one of those to in my other car

Madrx7racer

i'm was looking for a cheap HONDA aluminum intake pipe to replace my TID...........but these ricers are stoopid!!! 100+ bux for a ******* pipe???? lol........you can have someone custom make you one for 40 bux!!

the_shadow10000

So you think the HKS megaflow would be the better choice then the Weapon r?

Madrx7racer

it's reusable...........


what do you guys think of this:

for a TII

get an aluminum TID and install the STOCK airbox but do not attach the top of it (where it says Mazda).......then cut a hole right above it (ON THE HOOD) and install either a HUGE scoop (similar to a TII scoop but MUCH smaller) or install some Z3-like vents to get cold air in there.......

K&N or Bonez (unless they are the same?) are my choice. Weapon R just sucks. HKS' foam element just doesn't reassure me, and anything else just seems cheap (other then Apexi, but thats one expensive filter! Its good, but K&N could be just as good for a third of the cost).

But its your choice to use, its a matter of opinion.

And FYI

That article is bullshit whoever wrote that is getting by Apex'i
