Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Weapon R ram air?

I've been looking at the Weapon R short ram with the ram air kit and I'm really thinking about getting it.

My question is does anyone know anything about Weapon R?? This ram air kit looks really cool and the 03 celica has a great place to mount it.

I don't know about the ram air kit but i've heard from other people that weapon r is crap

Why is it crap? Any details, horror stories?

yes weaponR blows, we sell them at the shop i work at and they litterally fall apart when there just on display or something and everyone in the shop even knows that it sucks

TECH SPECS :
Weapon*R Intakes are CNC Mendrel Bent out of 6061 aluminum, and are flow tuned to match every engine application to maximize engine output. All Colored Weapon*R intakes are now Powdercoated and have tig-welded fittings for a sure seal.

THE FILTER :
To increase intake charge, we developed the Dragon Filter, which features an internal tuned flow velocity stack design and Air Turbulance guides to maximize gains. Weapon*R uses the highest quaility High Flow 4PLy Poly Urethane Foam to ensure a protected high performance engine. Many studies have shown Higher flow & Better Dirt Filtration with Foam Filter and the conventional cotton filter. Flow rates of up to 80% more Air, which increases your engines performance.

What part fell apart? Please guys, DETAILS!

I know guys that have them (not celicas), and they have never had a problem. Only problem I have herd about is my brothers got a hole in it from rubbing on the battery ties (eclipse).

Looks cool to me.

I know, mount that bitch right in the upper vent and blam cold air for days. I just want to see if the celica had problems with it, like CEL and what not.

Look what I found Weapon R short ram vs Injen CAI (on the celica), guess who won.

Looks good, i retract my last statement

Go for it

if you want it get it, my friend put one in his 91 teg and the filter got all funked up after a few days so he bought a new one, a month or so later the piping turned black in some places

Look at those test made by another website:

I think it's a good product and i'm planning to buy it

Here is another one

I had one and like after a month it kinda cracked and the filter is like really really cheap material. But if you guys wanna go through that then be my guest.
