If Weapon R does not have a Cold Air Intake, then the AEM CAI should give you a little more horsies. I think. I had short ram and it sucked for me! But then I had some generic ass sht brand.

Does the WeaponR have a new intake called Dragon Something? I heard that it's pretty good. I think it might even mount under the wheel well too.

Anyone have any comparisions between these two intakes as which one is better ? Or the differences if any between them? Trying to decide which one I should purchase. Thanks.

The new Dragon thing from Weapon-R is a specially design filter that's supposed to be the best. Weapon-R already has one of the best flowing filters out there, not the Dragon is supposed to be THE filter.

Get the weapon R if you want the security of not having to worry about water getting into your engine.My friend has weapon R and it sounds nice. You can also rig weapon R as a homemade CAI. Get CAI (AEM) if you want increased performance, but get the valve with it. However, I have heard stories that the valve does not work all the time. There is that picture that I think Snook put up that shows the valve keeping out water with the filter submerged in a tank of water. As far as I know, short ram is the compromise between Weapon R warm intake and a full CAI, but I do not know how it is in performance.
