Why is everyone crazy about HEAT for intakes. Yes it does take away A BIT but don't get all bent out of shape about it!!!!!

 

I put on th spacer 4 days after i did the intake, but you can def. put them on at the same time.

I just figured it would be logical to do this cuz you have to take off the CAI, or WAI as some people are claiming, to take off the plenum anyway. I guess it would save from doing the install twice. Oh and I checked and if I'm looking in the right spot I believe I have a Black MAF plug. Now if only I can get someone at Weapon-R to write me back I can give them my money!

 

what part do you need jersey...pm me ill help

 

jersey, i think you'd be better off calling them to order.

ummm, anyone heard or have done the Blitz SUS Filter?!? How are they compared to the other ones!!

 

ive heard good things about their filter

 

Finally ordered my Wepon-R intake yesterday! It should be here sometime next week and ready for a weekend install.

 

what did you end up paying and which setup did you get

 

haha this thread is still alive! i am *still* very happy with my 3.5" Weapon-R

 

$285 for the 3.5" pipe and 4" filter. It's a bit high, but at least it's what I wanted. Now onto the plenum spacer, I'll save a little bit and not get the iso thermal.

 

Is the rest of the tract 3.5" or does this 3.5" version feature couplers that neck it down? Why would an intake pipe that's larger than the oem maf/tb work better? What purpose of the "inner" chamber that I saw in some pics?

 

the inner chamber flows air through at a different rate than the outer tube so when they meet they create a velocity stack that forces more air into the plenum.
-GP-

 

The whole intake is really a series of velocity stacks. The external end of the conical filter is stack #1, then inside the base of the filter is stack #2, then the pipe itself is a type of velocity stack, but really more of a venturi effect.

What I find the main advantage to be is that the pipe within a pipe design keeps the intake charge velocity higher at low RPM for better throttle response and low-mid torque. Then the larger 3.5" pipe allows for greater overall flow capacity for high RPM power. Kind of the best of both worlds.

Some engine designers use this technique as a variable tune intake manifold. When combined with variable cam timing, it can really flatten the torque curve.

 

Thanks for the input, Secret Weapon on the way.
