I remember a Weapon-R rep came in here to ask for a guinea pig for their RX-8 intake. Now I saw this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...949261360&rd=1

I wonder what happened to that R&D.

 

Its garbage--they make alot of generic low end intakes for 'ricers' Its a universal fit--and I use the term 'fit' loosely.

 

Don't see any way to connect the MAF to that intake. The one in the pic must not be the one for the 8. As with any performace MOD listed on Ebay BEWARE!!

 

Even the name of that company screams Rice.
Weapon... please... honestly, I have not seen any product from them that'd be worth anything, but what do I know...

 

I read the article. It screams, "30,000 pounds of BS."

 

all they do is copy other products and put their name on it..........they did it with MSDS headers and a cold air intake both for the mercury cougar and contour luckily the person who does the copying is a ninkumput(sp) and cant even do that right.......they botched the headers by leaving out a flang and the intake is very shabby

 

My brother bought a cold air intake from them for his Cougar. POS!
Was not desinged to fit, called them to tell them they sent the wrong unit, they say they did not, unit STILL doesnt fit. Even if it did, it looked crappy. Nothing as nice as the online pictures depict.

 

I also have a cougar.......I bought the WR intake way back in 99/2000 when the company first started ........when I recieved it some of the holes for the airtubes on the pipe werent drilled I drilled them myself needless to say I never bought anything from them again.

 

Screw turbo's, I'm gettin this!!

"It is possible by Weapon*R's Patent Pending Speed Velocity theory, By creating a higher airspeed in the intake path you increase airmass and airspeed, which greatly increase horsepower. "
:D

 

Woooop! Woooop! Woooo- BANG!

Damn - my bullsh*t detector just exploded...

 

I feel dumber having read that ...

 

Does this intake work or what?

 

nope

 

in that it allows air to go into the engine - yes it intakes air. other than that read above reply

 

if you put anything from weapon R on your 8, you should be banned from the forum

 

Weapon R's R+D department consists of taking another product on the market, copying it, making it with inferior materials, then trying to undercut the company they took the design from.
