Secret Weapon Intake.

Anyone know anything about the Secret Weapon R Intake? I have a K&N Typhoon right now. Wondering if one is better than the other. Thanks.

Try searching a bit. I'm sure there is atleast one thread on the Weapon R intake. But to answer your question, you're not gonna notice much difference between the two, they are both short ram intakes.

As I searched through the threads, I have found that its probably not the best intake to go with. I believe I'll just run some piping from my bumper up into the air box. That might help bring some cooler air into the intake.

Have you done throttle body thermal bypass mod? That helped lower my intake temps quite a bit.
