anyone have weapon R intake???
i was wondering if any of us on the board us the Weapon R intake box and filter...it looks pretty cool and it seems to get comparable gains with the AEM or ingen, but without the risk of hydrolock...anyone here use it?? any feedback on it?? anybody have any pics of it installed???? im considering going with that kit as apposed to an AEM...
I've got the Weapon-R Dragon Intake and Cold Air Box, although the box wouldn't fit for some reason so I had to customize it a little. 
Anyways, it was simple to install and I love that UFO sound, which many others hate though. Not only that, but the sound at VTEC is awesome now. CAI or short ram, you can't lose with either one. I prefer the short ram because there's no chance of hydrolock and the filter is much more easily accessible.

I had ordered the Weapon R Intake back in January and its been on back order for 6 months. I finally got fed up last week and cancelled my order. I wrote to the company and they told me they are on back order for at least 6 months.
If you happen to get one, please let me know.

I have a Weapon-R Dragon Intake.
My feelings:
+ When the weather is cold outside, the short ran REALLY likes to produce power
- When it gets hot out, car feels MUCH slower. Although it is a common feature of our car, it seems to affect the car even more
+ Little/no chance whatsoever of hydrolock
+ Louder than the AEM CAI in VTEC. Sounds AMAZING.
+/- UFO sound. Depneds on your preference. I got a K&N filter for for my intake and it reduced the sound to a point where it's not annoying and sounds really cool.
More power than AEM/Injen CAI? I am sure no way, but when it's cold out, it adds power nicely and is easier to maintain and sounds cooler IMHO

i just got one and it looks pretty badass, i just have to figure out how to install it. what is the UFO sound, should i just wait and see? My WR intake has a Ractive heat shield filter on it, will that cut down the UFO sound?
