The Secret Weapon (SW) intake uses the same principles as the AEM V2 intake: dual intake chambers. The Dragon intake is a regular SRI and is ugly, IMO.

Check out the Weapon-R website for more info.

The secret weapon isn't the same as the V2. V2 has 2 different size pipes causing a second order resonance. Secret weapon has an inner pipe similar to Honda's stock B-pipes. This causes the different air speeds that they talk about. I wouldn't expect more performance out of either over an ebay pipe ..... maybe a fraction of an HP.

Why would weapon-R's be better? There isn't really much gain with anybodys, but the one with the most gains would be the V2. All others are just pipes and a filter. Filter quality is what matters most to me, so I would go with K&N or AEM
