Weapon-R secret weapon intake with ram air
Is this intake really wut its hiped up to be or is it all bull.Im conviced because in the web page it tells you how it performz and it battled with the k&n and it works way better and its the only web page that provides info and dyno tunning against other intakes and its not like other pages were it tells you its better and dosent prove it but i still need more info. Im a very big fan on Aem K&N Injen because they are very well known brands but I dont really care about Brands only performance. And dose any one really know How much horse power 2 the wheels it gives you with the ram air enhancer.

No intake is all it is hyped up to be.
Cold air intakes are good for maybe 3-6 horsepower at the upper end of your tach.
Just get one that is mandrel bent and not a short ram that sucks hot air from over the engine block instead of cool air from up front and you'll be fine.
CAI's barely deserve to be called performance parts, they just make a little bitty difference. If I didn't get mine for free I probably wouldn't have one. I just can't justify $100 per horsepower mods, which is pretty much what all mods for the xA and xB are, except forced induction. There is only so much you can do with a tiny engine that is already making a lot of power for it's size you know.
It's up to you though. Some people are happy buying iridium spark plugs and shiny new red plug wires and running premium gas and like to pretend it makes their car faster. For me, it is the part of the import tuning scene I hate the most, after retarded wings and stickers of course.
It seems like there was a time when "import tuning" actually meant tuning, not painting your brake drums bright red and putting an upside down Acura logo on your Civic DX, but that was a long time ago.

Most people like those brands not because they are well known brands, they are well-known brands because people like the product and they have proven themselves. Not trying to exclude or include WR cuz I don't really know anything about them, just pointing out why what he said doesn't make for good logic.

rswerks has the ram air kit on sale right now for like $40 i think. that's actually pretty friggin good.
forgot to mention-i've done like 3500 miles on my intake and its still running beautifully. just ordered the cleaner for the filter and just waiting for it to come in right now. remember-an intake that gives u 6-7hp plus an exhaust that gives u 6-7hp used together doesnt mean ure getting 12-14hp now. more like 10 total.

There is no need to order a ram air adapter. The ram air kit includes it, though it won't be needed if used with the Secret Weapon Intake; it already has provisions for the ram air setup.
