Which intake is best for the tC?
Can someone tell me what the difference is between these intakes?
Which intake should I get to install on my tC?
1) Weapon R Secret Weapon Intake
2) Weapon R Dragon Intake
3) K&N Typhoon Cold Air Intake
4) Injen Cold Air Intake
As of now, I have my mind set on the Weapon R Secret Weapon Intake.
Someone please help me decide between these.

If that's the case, then go with K&N. They offer good performance and have a long, reputable history of offering top quality and reliability. Weapon R, notably the Secret Weapon intake, has many posts in many forums regarding the questionable quality and reliability of their product. You don't have to search forums for long to see what I'm referring to. This topic has been discussed alot.
What I want to know is which intakes will be compatible with the TRD supercharger and if they will offer more HP gains than stock. I've heard that several of the intakes currently available for the NA tC engine will not be reccomended or compatible with the SC.

I have the WR SW intake and it has been great. If I was buying one today I would go with the Injen CAI. This is because it can easily be converted into short ram if needed. Both the Injen and K & N are pretty much going to yield the same performance results. I soon may be picking up an Injen to replace my WR SW.

basically, what it comes down to is this: in the TC, most intakes are going to be designed very similarly to one another, with respect to design type (one CAI will look almost exactly like another), and therefore perform similarly. The reason is the physical layout of the engine bay is a huge constraint in regards to design. So the only significant factors are now whether you prefer a SRI setup, or a CAI; what brand you are most loyal to; and price point.

As of thus far, according to unofficial information, *no* intakes are compatible with the SC. The SC comes with it's own intake. But seeing as how that information hasn't come directly from toyota/trd/scion, I'm considering that speculative.
Hope this helps
