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

 

how is the short ram pipe?

 

from weapon-r?

 

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....

 

That article is bullshit, quit waisting peoples time with it.

 

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

 

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!!

 

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

 

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
