Weapon R Cold air intakes

Hey i have a 99 honda accord V6 Coupe and i was thinking about puttin in a cold air intake. I was lookin at the Weapon R cold air intakes and I was wondering if they are any good.  They caught my eye becuase they are affordable. haha 128 bucks on andysautosport. any comments on them?

from my experience and from what i read and see around these streets, the V6 accords have a little tiny bit more of a gain with the V2 intakes...i've also heard some people prefer to go short ram on their V6's...and as for weapon R, i am not sure on them...most of the people i know have K&N,AEM and other name brands but in my opinion most of those filters are pretty much the same, there are only a handful out there that actually do look a little more powerful but when push comes to shove,they pretty much give the same gain.Most cold air intakes will give you only give you between 5-10 Hp gain depending on what kind of motor you running on...

Why a short ram intake? i always thought cold air intakes gave more hp?

We do have a search button up there you know.

The biggest difference between a CAI and an SRI are the costs, HP gains are marginal between the two. Any intake is fine, the filter is the most important part. The Weapon R intakes are gaining in reputation though, so you're not heading down a bad road. If you want, I'm sure falkore can go all out nerd on this and explain the pressure drop differences between the two.


falkore, you facked your sig up.

bro you can get a cheap air intake from ebay and get a K&N air filter ....total cost your gonna pay is around 75 to 80
that's what i did and it worked out really good ...it's all about what kind of filter your getting ....oh and you don't gain that much HP only like
5 or 6 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-99-00-01-02-ACCORD-4CYL-LX-EX-BLUE-COLD-AIR-INTAKE_W0QQitemZ310037797158QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item310037797158
but do not use the air filter that it comes with ....just look around for some more intakes on ebay
and don't go for short ram ...i have few friends that say it did not work out for them ...too much warm air coming into engine and lound noise not much of gain in HP
but it's up to you ...just gotta do more research

Word. ive always been leaning more toward the CAI. but yo does the size of the piping make any difference? like is it the bigger the better?

CAI is what i'm rolling on and i got to say i'm feeling it. i wouldnt get a bigger pipe unless you want to drive rich(meaning eat more gas) because my friend pulled a stunt like that and placed a 3" pipe when he was a 2.5" pipe and his MPG LOOKED HORRIBLE!and he's rolling in a corolla...
 
i like the V2 more for your engine, when i look under a V6 hood and see a  V2 intake, it makes it look like its packing power even though i got to be honest. the 6th generations are packing some power for real! and there are so many mod's you can do to that engine its sickening...I LOVE J SERIES engines and F Series!

falklore knows alot more when it comes to header's and intake's!ask him whats the benefits, he'll let you know...its just a matter of catching his attention to this thread

i have another question. say i have a 2.75" pipe. what size filter would i need to buy cuz im gettin that apexi power filter. CHYEA! haha like they say i need to tell them what size flange i need...i have no clue what that is.

It's usually best to match the pipe size to the size of your throttle body. There's no sense in having a pipe that's so big or so small that it doesn't match up, plus the rubber thing that attaches them together would be difficult to do...

Tell Apexi or whomever that the filter needs to fit on the end of a 2.75" pipe, they should understand.

Do you really think his MPG went down because there was 20% more air in that intake? He most likely started driving it more aggressively to here the sound.

could be...but i drive somewhat aggressively and even my gas mileage didn't look as horrible as his...he had a full tank by friday and was half way through it by sunday morning and the only places he went was school and his girl house which aren't to far from his house

Most intakes are 3".  There won't be too many filter options for 2.75 I don't think.  The pressure drop that is going to control the engine is at the throttle body so the MPG drop is from your friend flooring it too much.  SRI gets 1 or 2 more ft.lbs. of torque.  CAI gets 1-2 more HP.  SRI is louder in the cabin due to opening location.  Hydrolock is not much of a concern unless you have major amounts of snow or like to drive through lakes and rivers, but then you have bigger issues.  AF mixture is controlled by the O2 sensors in the exhaust, not the intake. 
 
& the search button could have told you all of these things.  I learn through research.

right now his pipe i did for him is about 2.5" or 2.75" but i know for sure it isn't 3"...
and your right,but damn is it really possible for a corolla to burn my gas then an accord?because i tend to cruise but sometimes will unleash the beast, but he's more on the cruising side
