instaled new intake today
#23
are instructions included with the weapon r intake from creativecompacts.com , and if so, are they very helpful?
also, can you really feel a 6hp increase? or is just that the engine sounding louder, causing you to think you're accellerating faster?

The filters constantly being hated on are a VERY old design we once had. Yes they were thin, and had no mesh. Every single filter we sell now have a structural mesh and are a high density design. It has been this way for a few years now. For those of who are making your intake choice based on old facts, I invite you to give them a try, and I'll guarantee they aren't what these haters claim they are.

i agree-the weapon r and trd exhaust sound amazing together. only thing is-i got the CEL with the new secret weapon intake. supposedly the o-ring where the maf sensor is may be small. this is supposedly because every car is slightly different, and even a little bit of a difference in how the o-ring fits can cause the CEL. i'm going to take out my o-ring tomorrow and see if i can get a little bit of a bigger one tomorrow at autozone to see if it takes care of it.

The intake isnt all that loud. You can feel a small power difference but its not going to knock your socks off. Now if you get the exaust I have with the intake....whoooo hoooo

i agree these mods will not make my car a "rocket ship" but i dont see any thing else that can be done with out dumping loads of money under the hood...it might not be no rocket ship, but its funner then a stock car..anyone else agree?

the CEL is gone, the car runs awesome and sounds great with the trd exhaust-people have asked me if it's really the trd exhaust, because they didn't think it sounded that good. i just added the ram air kit too, but the difference isn't that much over just having the intake. maybe a little bit better, but who knows. unless u do a dyno you'll never actually know for sure. anyway, i'd recommend the weapon r intake, it's a pretty simple install, no hydrolock worries, and it looks nice. the only other intake i was thinking about getting was the aem one, but since it may never come out, or come out in 2010, it wasn't a hard choice. wait for something that may never come out at the rate it's moving at, or the one that'll be in my car 3 days after i order it. hmmm.. tough choice

It's good to hear that the CEL doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. I just ordered the WR SW intake this week. When i'm doing the install I'll take some pics and let you guys know how it goes. I plan on reseting the ECU, installing DC Sport sturt brace and switching to Mobil 1 Syn oil at the same time of the intake install.

Still thinking whether or not i should get the Ram Air Kit or wait for the Cold Air Box HmMMm
