Weapon R secret air intake... BS or NOT?
I came across this on eBay. I am wondering if anyone out there has heard of this or if this is as good as it says it is. Thanks!



Weapon R secret air intake 90-92 mazda RX7 NT

My friend had one on his Neon while I had a AEM on my Eclipse. The cars wieghed almost the same and had the same engine with the same mod but my Eclipse always won by a bumper. I think it was the intake because before we put them on we tied. Its not that great... AEM is better.

To the original poster: Don't waste your money - buy a prelude intake and adapt it.

Non turbo engines in the Eclipse are shared with the Neon. Only the turbo version is made by Mitsubishi (4G63 engine). The non-turbo was made by Dodge (420a engine). I think he was just trying to prove the fact that top quality intakes work better, but that's a no-brainer
