Default Weapon*r Intake ( New 1 Piece Designs)

Hi guys.. I just wanted to drop by and let you guys know that we finalized our new 1 piece designed intake for the Lexus's..

We will be finishing our polishing on the intakes next week and by the end of the week they will be able to ship..

I would like to appologize to all the people who have had back orders for the intakes and would like to compensate them with a complementary Weapon*R T-shirt for their troubles..

If anyone has any questions of comments, please email me at :
Leonow@weapon-r.com

And as an added plus for all your people who want the intake or Cold Air box .. I am willing to do a group buy for it..

Thank you,
Leo Now

Is the new WR intake going to be made outa of good quality??
I have a set of WR intake, it works well except the shipment came with the wrong color of hosing that I requested and the bolt that connects the hosing is flawed!!!


I hope the new design and quality will improve!!

Default agree

I would have to agree. Many here have given WR a chance and felt burned.
Mine was cut with a hacksaw at the end with the vice grip marks(dents) on the pipe. Worse,this was covered up with a rubber hose and clamp when shipped as if to decieve me. I was told that the guys in the warehouse did this since they were out of the correct pipe at the time. Also the Dremel cutting of the intake sensor was horrible. Screws were drilled in the wrong spots on my CAB. Hoses were the same size though the GS4 has different size vacuum intake hoses.
Plus I lost out on the shipping back to you to get a full refund. I tried emailing and calling you to no avail. You were gone for 3 weeks. Finally Chris helped me.
I also know others are equally dismayed with WR.



WR has some things to prove here at CL
I am willing to give WR another chance-maybe, but....

Would like to see pics and dyno's.

Leo,

Pictures would be great.. All the things I have read have scared me away from getting a WR intake so hopefully you guys have fixed all the issues and now are up to speed with some good customer service from the purchase to the shipping..

BTW all group buys must go through Ethan (Static911) before they can start.. Please contact him if you would like to start a group buy.. Thank you!

If this is the same piece that CL did the Dyno on.. It was too long if I recall correctly. Also, was badly build with cut mark. I hope WR will have higher quality stuff for Lexus...than Honda...

Pearlpower.. sorry to see that pic.. that is one F up intake..
