Weapon R Intakes vs. the competition

Matthew Nelson · 08-30-2000, 09:41 AM

Let me preface this post with the following: I don't have an intake installed on my Impreza, so I have limited knowledge of what intakes are really effective.
That said, I've heard from Honda-driving acquaintances and friends Weapon R makes kick-ass intakes. I have yet to drive one of these intake-equipped vehicles, so I cannot verify whether Weapon R's intakes are any good.

Does anyone recommend Weapon R intakes? Are there better intakes available? If so, who makes them and from who can they be purchased?

This has been talked about A LOT!! Do a search and you'll find all of the answers you need.

I have a Weapon R and I love it. Doesn't come with enough tubing for the MY00 though, so you'll have to buy a little more. SPO Motorsports sells them, has them in stock and delivers them quickly. Many people claim they are running rich with it on, but I haven't noticed any problems...no smell of gas and no soit [sp?] on my bumper or anything.

Though I don't own an air intake, I think I'd go with JC Sports. Not a blown MAF yet...unless I've missed a post. And no, I'm not gonna do a search coz I'm too lazy just like Homer.
