fancy air filter. IMO, I dont think there's any big differences with the SRI for the NA 2JZ

x2 I would also wonder what that filter does for performance/filtration vs. a decent namebrand one like K&N or Apexi. I don't trust cheap air filters...too much riding on what gets into your motor.

this is the filter :


The Dragon Air Filter provides maximum airflow, with the protection of high quality dense Polyurethane Foam. Studies have shown up to 80% more Air and Better Dirt Filtration with Foam Filter than the conventional cotton filters. Featuring technology from the Secret Weapon Air filter, an internal tuned Velocity Stack provides more air into the engine.

weapon R has been around for quite a while. I remember back in the day when i had a civic, circa 1999 they had already been making intakes for most hondas and toyotas.

^^ good deal.. take whats good about it & make somethign better..... IMO


we used to call them Weapon Retarded

Their parts are pretty basic and not of the highest quality... that Intake used ot be one of the ones in the IS that caused CEL issues.... all those short rams were iffy...
