Secret Weapon, Weapon R Intake

[Trubin]

I always wanted to do some small performance modification mod tot he Car.I've been thinking about it for a while and once the timing was right I did some research and decided to order a SW Weapon R intake. I know Some people have been claiming that a Foam filter is worse then Paper, but after looking it to some specs that got my attention such as 300 pores per s inch vs 60 pores of K&N or AEM SW proved to be more interesting, i purchased it with shipping for $170 bucks from ebay. waited for a Saturday morning to install it. The whole installation proses wasn't too hard after getting some helpful tips from my dad such as putting additional sealant between the tube and MAF sensor i went on and got the job done in one cold morning.
:coolpics:here are some pics of the intake:

The brackets that they gave me weren't exactly the right size but after some modifications I got them connected to that bottom hole and attached it it with a provided clamp.

It does look pretty dam sweet i got to admit even thought it looks mostly hidden. After installing It I herd a difference in the sound while driving, and the power gain is slightly noticeable too. Ill post some pics later on if it has any changes toward my MPG.

Maybe a CAI perhaps might gave you a better MPG than 30.

does anyone know if this intake would fit on a 2010 sedan and where to get one ive looked with no real luck thanks .> i like the sound of it from a youtube vid i searched for i guess my other options are the afe or the aem cai i just want one that sounds nice

[big lo]

^sure it would fit with no problem at all, but me personaly I like the SRI intake, but the weapon R looks great too good job

[matthewai]

i think im prob gonna end up going with the afe i hear good things about it how is the sound though is it deep enough to notice a difference?

I hear a difference with my Wepon R. there is definitely has more "Wroom" over the stock air filter it sounds more natural, I don't know about other intakes, they could be better just want to say that I am pretty happy with mine so far.

yeah i know what u mean im think im getting an exhaust first so im gonna hold off on an intake for a little bit itll give me time to think about which one

i know some people in bk how was the snow out there its pretty bad on li

[Trubin]

I was thinking of an exhaust next too. and maybe new lowered springs next. Was loking into some kool sounds that exhaust make.
The snow how ever... oh god, don't ask yesterday morning was an adventure just getting to work. Luckily my yaris pulled through. my dad helped me get out of the garage and a tractor helped me make a parkign spot at work.
