Default Weapon R manifold results thread

For the fortunate 5 that recieved the first batch, we have yet to hear rave reviews for the performance side of this product. I have heard "it sounds great" and "it looks awesome". Neither of which I care about when dropping $600 or more on a goodie such as this. SO.....lets hear about the $$ to power ratio. I am interested in what kick it gives our xB's!!! I am hoping to get in on the next batch

yeah, Im following other threads, just thought more than one person would report back. I mean, we had alot of guys interested and the first batch was bought up. A few even reported on the shipping progress and how excited they were that any day they'd finally have it.....then nothing. Figured that the guys that bought one would be jones'in to be the first to get it installed and rush back to tell all about it. But...nothing except for yours. One opinion is subjective, I was hoping to have unanomous data saying the $600 for this part is a no brainer, and we should ALL get one.

Once again I stated the Scion XB is 1.5L motor. We have gained 4-7 hp with the manifold, and 5-8 TQ. This toyota motor is ver yvery hard to make N/A HP. The MAF is only allowing so much to modify. There was one guy who spent over 2000$ on head work and port and polishing that only saw 9-12 at the wheels. We have developed an intake manifold that no one else has. It is felt in the lower RPM and the higer RPM for sure.

Seems to me I remember them posting the dyno results. That's being open and showing proof...no?

Here is the Dyno.
Remember this is on a Scion XA 2006 model. with very low miles, and very well maintained!

i had stayed out of the weapon r threads as im not big on their previous product lines (no personal experience or horror stories, just preference)

but i have to say wow, i'm REALLY impressed by the torque gain throughout the range

Isn't $100 per hp about standard for power adders? So thats about right.

my box really scoots now. but i also just had a warrantied engine put in it. so due to the problem i was havign before, i cant compare performance.

I would say it really scoots though, but cant be sure on definitive answer.

I'm not seeing a big difference in Fuel economy. It's where it should be, nothing i notice at the pump.
