Are you trying to find an intake for you car but no one makes it? Then a Weapon R intake is your answer. Weapon R Intakes are name brand and are manufactured in the US. WeaponR has the largest product like compared to AEM and Injen. WeaponR has 2 specific like, the Secret Weapon is a short ram Intake with the performance of a cool air. The second like is the Dragon Weapon-R Intake with a custom filter.

If you are in the market for an air intake and you first choice was either Injen or AEM. Read our article below to know the real deal.

The reason AEM and Injen was on your mind in the first place is because they used psychology to convenience you they are the best. They put so much advertising in there brands that people automatically think AEM and Injen is the top brand and the best intake.

The real fact is AEM and Injen is the same exact intake you find on eBay for $20. It is a regular pipe with a regular filter which AEM and Injen buy from China for $5. The dyno results Injen and AEM claim to have are the same results you would get from a $20 intake if the company on eBay selling it decided to put a heavy advertisement on it.

What you should consider is that it's not all about whose brand sounds nicer or looks better. It has much more to do with that. Different brands have different designs. Every car has a specific application. Weapon R spends thousands of dollars testing each intake for each car to make the most precious horsepower gain possible.

• If you compare an Injen or AEM to Weapon R, they will look like the same thing. But if you pay close attention to the design you will notice that Weapon R intake is designed more preciously for the air to move smoothly through the pipe into the engine, comparing to hard 70-90 degree turns that AEM and Injen have which will move the air roughly through the pipe decreasing potential horsepower.
• Weapon R intakes are not only designed to have the air move smoothly through the intake pipe, but they are also designed to have the air spin like a turbo throughout the pipe while it is flowing through the intake. This means as the air enters the intake, it will start rotating 360 degrees throughout the intake pipe and when it reaches the intake manifold it will be moving three times faster then a regular intake.

Our recommendation is to go with Weapon R and no other brand. It is not because we like them, it is because we know it's more powerful and proven to be more powerful then Injen or AEM.

• Weapon R is considered the top notch intake of all as of August 2004. Secret Intake came out with a revolutionary filter that induces air from two locations in the filter itself. Besides the point that the air already spins throughout the pipe. As a result of the filter inducing the air from to locations it creates even more air rotation than before. According to the dyno charts, this has increased 2-7 more horsepower then pervious filters. Weapon R short ram intakes will out perform AEM or Injen cold air intakes on low RPM and it will perform almost the same on high RPM. Weapon Cold air intake will out perform any short or cold air intake on the market today. Weapon R is also known as an intake company who has the biggest application line in the world today.
• Weapon-R has a higher low end torque. This means when you measure 0-60MPH with Weapon intake installed it will give you 6-8HP compared 1-4HP with Injen or AEM. Weapon*R has a turbo effect inside the intake. If you ever heard of a turbonator which installs in the air intake to create a swirl pattern of air flow, the Secret already has it built in throughout the whole pipe. Weapon R will give you more horsepower at the low end and even greater at high end, you will be 100% satisfied with your Weapon R intake, we are confident!

We would like to explain how the " SECRET WEAPON " Intake system works

Picture 1 : Picture of the PATENT PENDING " Secret Weapon Intake Pipe " design. You can see the smaller inner tube used to increase velocity. The airflow through the inner tube has a higher velocity than a standard 3" intake pipe. The higher velocity / volume of airflow from the inner pipe creates a low-pressure vacuum at the throttle body end of the pipe, called a Venturi. This Venturi draws the air from the outer pipe, increasing its velocity, and increasing the overall volume of air entering the engine.
Picture 2 :In this picture, we first test a standard 3 pipe. Here you can see that the display is reading 1.4 in H20. We cap off the other pipe to provide a more accurate reading.
Picture 3 : In this picture we are now testing the Secret Weapon design. We see that the reading has increased to 2.3 in H20. This increase is due to the small inner pipe increasing velocity in the intake tract.
Picture 4 : In this photo, we test a pretty good-sized K&N style gauze filter. You can see that with this filter, the reading has actually DECREASED down to 2.0 inH2O.
Picture 5 : Swapping a Secret Weapon filter for the gauze filter, shows a large increase over the gauge filter and over just the open pipe as well. The improved velocity stack and filter design encourages the air to flow in a direct route through the pipe while maintaining a high velocity and low restriction.
