I don't recall where I heard this from, but I heard that K&N intakes/filters allow stuff to get into the engine. I'm not sure whether it's true or not, but I'd personally go with Weapon R.

Don't buy it on my word alone. Give it some time and others will chime in.

Also, try to do some forum searching/internet research so you can form your own opinion on both companies/intakes. Look for things like dyno sheets and mpg stats relative to each system. Searching on YouTube could also give you an idea of what the system looks and sounds like when they are installed and running.

I'm currently researching that K&N flaw I presented to you to see if it's true. I'll report back to CL.

Here's a thread I found while searching on Google.

Doesn't look like the Vette guys like them all too much.

Every company boasts that their products are the best in the world.

Why is it cheaper? I don't know.

but the Weapon R seems to be more commonly used by CL members, which naturally makes me trust it more.

Haha yeah. It's a nice car for sure. My family isn't big on SUVs, but we have one that seats 7 so we can all roll out together.
