hey guys, i just ordered my dragon intake... can't wait for it to get here. for those of you that are curious here are my reasons for choosing Weapon* R over SRT
a) the cost - HP gain ratio is larger with the dragon intake, it was only $192, compared to almost $700, also the Apex'i unit can be had for $400 here, CANADIAN, not US, see what i'm saying? its the same price here if you can find it here... maybe if i lived in the states i'd get teh SRT one, but its like 1300 when you work it out for here, but the Apex, Weapon R is about 700...
b) i want the Apex'i S-AFC in the long run anyways, so this gives me that tuning ability when i get the Apex'i unit
c) in 4 years or so i will be putting turbo so buying the SRT would kinda be money lost.. also i'd have to remove the solders which would be hard.
d) the Dragon looks much better IMO
so there you have it, lets just hope this works out better than the TC does, if it doesn't fit i will pronouce myself truely unlucky.
I seem to be the GS300 guinnie pig here! first to have the TC which didn't work out now the Intake, i hope it works, please wish me luck, i think i'll need it, althought it sais specifly 98-00 GS300, and then SEPERATLY 98-00 GS400 and SEPERATLY 00-02 IS300 or something, but i know it was seperate, plus it was like a seperate link with a picture, so i dont think they would have put that in unless there really was an intake for it.
heres the link please look at it...:
