Weapon R Intake.

[MarkSubi]

yeah I just bought a Weapon R intake off eBay a few days ago, and am just wondering if anybody eals has one

and if so is it really as good as its suppose to be?

I've had mine for about a little more than a year now. The first thing you'll notice is the NOISE. Sounds like somethings under the hood when you hammer on it. As for power increase, i think there was a little incease. But i think since i have a 2.2L i didn't notice such a big increase in power, it takes a small amount of air to power those engines anyways. I'm thinking around a 2-5hp increase feels right. The quality is top notch!

[MarkSubi]

what do you mean like it sounds like something moving or what not under the hood.


and I'm happy to here that there good
now I just wish I could here one on the exact year of my leggy cuz I love the way mine sounds now and I just don't want it to sound shitty.

i think it just makes a "vrooming" sound because the airflow doesn't go through the silencer box thingy in you front right fender anymore. I just took out the silencer box, it's extra weight after you put in this intake.. What year is your car?

[MarkSubi]

my car is a 1995 Legacy LSI Sedan.

and oh okay if its that sound then okay cuz I already have that cuz of my cat back exhaust system.

No, I'm afraid you have no idea what kind of noise an intake makes compared to the exhaust lol

I forgot about the sound of my exhaust after I installed my intake b/c when I put it to the floor I couldn't HEAR my exhaust anymore. Intakes are really loud on legacies. It took me a while to get used to. It's fun to make loud noises though... :twisted:

[MarkSubi]

hmm well is it cuz of the intake piping being metal? cuz right now its my exhaust system you here.

when i first got my leggy the frist mod I did to it was a custom intake, I took out the air box and added a cone to it and when I did that the only time i herd the intake was when I was taking off but then it would eventrually go alway.


I didn't get the exhaust system till way later.


:iroc:

the weapon r intake sounds amazing. it makes my slow ass car sound fast adn tricks ppl hahaha

[rudgers73]

hmm well is it cuz of the intake piping being metal?:iroc:

Well, kinda. It's because it's metal, it turbulent flow, and it doesn't have any resonators anymore. What you hear is pretty much a standing wave reverberating through the thin aluminum wall of the intake tube. Engineers actually put a lot of work to tune out all of the frequencies that cause a vibration/noise, but they also have to restrict the flow a bunch to make it more laminar in order to do this. John Q Public doesn't like a loud intake, even if it might be allowing the engine to work more efficiently.

[MarkSubi]

aah okay. well I can't wait to get it.
