I was looking at the Air intakes that are coming out (will give me something to keep my hands busy till the 18psi kit or the twincharge kit comes out). But I was wondering if anyone has scene the specs (dyno or something). Compairing the Weapon-R Intake vs the K&N. Any help will be alot of help.

the Weapon R intake isn't even made yet, they just stated that they we're likely going to produce one. search for it...

On the Killed WRX Thread by GM3Saturn, he said that he Installed his. Also the Weapon R intake site has them for sale. Please edjumikate me. Thanks.

well that was quick. they just posted a thread here about possibly making one, along with headers, etc.

the fact that they are already available is beyond me at this point

right now i am waiting to get into a shop where a guy is going to use my car as the prototype for an exhaust and an intake. hopefully if all goes well then after we get it on a dyno we can get a group but for the both of them if there is enough intrest on here. ill keep everyone posted

Yea, but they never gave his car a baseline dyno, they just put a piece of pipe on, and now they're going to dyno it. So, there's no good baseline to compare it with... sounds pretty shady to me...

I dont have a intake. When did I say that?

Check DL RL's signature.

ditto, people complain about a company like K&N charging so much (not me), but they don't realize most "other" intakes you'll end up finding on e-bay are of lesser quality materials more prone to heat soak, and they likely just toss a pipe on there and call it a day. i'll stick with K&N or AEM quality any day over the cheap stuff. in fact, the weapon-R stuff seems to me like an equal to APC in terms of quality and ACTUAL performance minded development.

Thats exactly why Im spending a little more money and waiting a little longer for the K&N. Hopfully I'll get it in a couple of days. I ordered it last thursday and the company said 3-5 days some hopfully I'll get it soon. :)

Agreed, they needed a base line with all the eractic Dynos I have seen there is no way to just claim.

I was talking to the sales guy on the phone and he said it would arrive in 3-5 days so I assuming so. After the shit I went through with Advanced Auto Parts I should have specificly asked. If I dont get it by tomarrow then I'll have to call on it.
