Weapon R Intake

[blkgenRspec]

Hi guys, I'm new to the genesis world, but I've been reading threads on the site for about 2 months now. I see several different intake mods/advice etc. Bought my Genny two months ago, the car is pretty stout stock, but was definitely missing something. I did research, shopped around(There's not much for these cars). Saw youtube abel video.. I decided to take a chance on weapon R. I'm glad I did, this intake is amazing. Engine growls, pulls hard thru the powerband. Im very impressed with this intake. Just wanted to verify also, that it comes with an heat shield and ram air add-on. Dont know if that was ever addressed on here. I'll post pics soon. Just wanted to put this out there, just in case anyone was wondering. Thanks

That is wonderful to hear...
Where did you purchase it from? And how much did it cost?
Also how difficult was it to install?
Looking forward to those PICs...

Install took about an hr.. paid 296.00 on carid.com

Congrats. I think you're the first on the board to install one.
I'm just curious. Don't you all think the stock system pulls in more cold air than this setup?
I'm referring to the piece that pulls air from over the radiator.
I've looked under the stock airbox and there isn't a big opening to pull in cold air.

 

[blkgenRspec]

the stock system is a decent one, but its very restrictive. I'll be adding a short clip of engine sound w/ weapon R.. Its pretty beast.

Nothings simple these days..

 

[Youseethefight]

sounds good do you have exhaust too?

 

[dmitriylm]

I must be missing something but I can't find a sedan intake on CarID.com, just intakes for the 2.0 and 3.8 coupes. Can someone post a link for this product?

 

[blkgenRspec]

no exhaust all stock.. Click the v6 intake and once you go to the order page, under the options, you can click the 5.0 v8 option.

 

[dmitriylm]

Can anyone confirm if the 5.0 and 4.6 V8's have the same intake setups? Given that the 5.0 is a bored out 4.6 I'm assuming they would be identical.

 

[OneFunGenesis]

They are extremely similar from what I know. Same location and mounting procedure

The 3.8 and 4.6 have an mass airflow sensor and the 5.0 doesn't IIRC. An intake for a 4.6 for example would need a spot fabricated for a MAF sensor.

That's right, forgot about metering difference. Might be more trouble than it's worth for me.
