I have the weapon R and am very pleased, but i seem to be in the minority, but like you said if money is no issue, go with the Injen. Everyone that has it loves it and the dynos are great. I have read that the weapon r has actually more hp gain than the injen, but only by 1 HP. But the kicker of the whole thing is that the weapon R actually losses 22 lbs/ft of torque around 2400 rpm. So all in all if i had to start over, i would get the injen. Plus a lot of people have problems with the WR falling apart.(not me though)

Injen +7 HP, +4 lbs/ft

SW WR +8 HP, +1 lbs/ft, (but -22 lbs/ft around 2400rpm)

the injen is the ONLY intake that you can convert from SRI>CAI>SRI>CAI, haha..

but ya, i would suggest the injen if you are scared of water, but i personally have hte Fujita F5 CAI and i love it.. its also in the minority compared to injen and k&n.

p.s: tho this thread is made for which intake to get, i will HIGHLY suggest you stay away from K&N.. because it is teh ___. i had the intake on for about 2 months, and the bracket snapped the mount that it was attached to, which would eventually lead to the bottom bracket loosening, and therefore causing a large rattle.

so stick with Injen or Fujita.. or hell, go with AEM and their dry flow filter

+1 for Fujita. The gains are minimal and you won't be able to really tell the difference between the Fujita and Injen.

Hydrolocking usually only occurs when you're in a large puddle/flood. I've heard it takes the water level to be up to the headlights.. but who the hell is stupid enough to drive through even 6inches of water?

I was thinking about buying CAI but I'm concern about little splash, heavy rain, and snow. I thought few splash could damage my engine but two CAI that has bypass valve are AEM and TRD so..... which is which for the best CAI to use in these 3 weather condition?

I know it doesn't snow in Texas but I go to college in New York.

just letting you know that the TRD is the AEM. just rebadege as a TRD. and the and the reason the TRD is so much more expensive is because it is CARB legal. which is a big thing in CA. But i have the FUjita. I'm not worried about hydrolocking. im not stupid enough to drive through a flood.
