does anyone have picture of an XB with an installed weapon -r dragon intake..?if so can u post it here

hotbox05 · 01-22-2005, 06:49 PM

weapon r is garbage. the filter barely filters and their intakes have been known to throw check engine lights , and they show us an element and we are sposed to be impressed?

I would seriously rethink about what intake you want to get.

NJthunder5spd · 01-23-2005, 12:50 AM

i have the weaponR intake n ive never seen a CEL

im not using the "filter" that it came with though.. im actually using a 12" k&n cone filter.

flowmini98 · 01-23-2005, 03:52 AM

yeah i was looking at the filter element..and ill probly replace it with a TRIED AND TRUE....k&n after a few months.

resolve..thanks for your info ...does anyone else have anything to add about this product?

remember. . . you can also ask advice and you can selectively choose which advice to actually listen to. . . I've heard multiple accounts of the foam filters actually falling apart and being sucked into a deformed shape. Choose wisely.

I would just get it for the piping and throw on a filter from: K&N, APEXi, Blitz, or HKS. That's assuming the piping doesn't look like ____.

AKgoalie7 · 01-24-2005, 11:20 AM

just spend 30 more bucks and get the injen shorty.... it'll give ya peace of mind... that's what i'm buying with some of my tax check...

flowmini98 · 01-25-2005, 04:09 AM

i dosent look bad at all.....you really cant see all that much of the tube anyway.....ill just replace the filter in a few months when i pull the front bumper for paint!

NJthunder5spd · 02-02-2005, 03:56 AM

as for the filter gettin sucked it.. im not exactly in agreement with u. i have the filter retrofitted onto my moms 99 blazer 4.3L v6.. no such warping or falling apart n that motor has wayyyyy more displacement than our motors. im not sure what the compression ratio is but that thing sure can "suck".

djct_watt · 02-02-2005, 04:16 AM

Well, logic dictates that just because it doesn't happen to one person, does not mean it will never happen. Secondly, if it happens to many people, odds are it will increase the likelihood it will happen to someone else. I see a lot of people use the "BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME" line, but it doesn't mean squat. Just because you don't get shot the first time you wear a kkk uniform in the middle of oakland, does not mean it won't happen if you do it again.

My opinion on weapon R is that they have poor quality control, and that some of the filters may be good. But I'm sure they allow far more unacceptable filters to hit store shelves than other companies (lack of random testing).

NJthunder5spd · 02-02-2005, 04:28 AM

what type of cars were these filters used on that they fell apart ?

griecos_xb · 02-02-2005, 04:46 AM

hey dick watt ,what r u talking about,are u that bored to try to make up stories about products ,or do u have any backin of you accusations

djct_watt · 02-02-2005, 07:11 AM

you're an idiot. . . don't accuse me of crap. . . I don't bull sh** around and if you knew me or what I post you would know that. Allblackxb (doesn't really come on the forums any more) had this happen to him, you moron. Ask him. But actually, be my guest and don't come out of your ignorance. I'm trying to be helpful, not an A** hole. So please please buy the intake and kill your motor.

Just because someone else knows something you don't, doesn't mean you should accuse them of bull sh**. You just show your ignorance.

djct_watt · 02-02-2005, 07:38 AM

eeeeeeer retarded eeeeerrr

hotbox05 · 02-02-2005, 10:03 AM

sid you really have gone insamenabad.

djct_watt · 02-02-2005, 10:09 AM

you hotbox, you know what I'm talkin about with the weapon R's. . . yeah, especially about weapon R. Weapon R = the devil. Like I would have anything to gain from saying so! Damn. . . I disappear from the forums for a week or so, and suddenly some whacko's are wavin BS flags in my face.

hotbox05 · 02-02-2005, 10:15 AM

lol dude , chill , u on sumptin? i very much agree with yer reasoning and ideas about weapon r as both a company and as a filter element. i'd prolly rock some weapon r seat brackets tho , nothin on my motor tho , well maybe an engine brace , well nothing that has to do with performance.
