Fujita vs. Weapon R
I have been using the Weapon R Secret Weapon short ram intake for the past year and loved it. After all the Fujita cold air intake hype I decided to get one and just installed it this past weekend. Comparing the two, the Weapon R is about twice as loud and sounds twice as good! I'm not really impressed with this Fujita cold air intake. It's not as quick to respond as my Weapon R and I can definitely feel a difference in torque. With the Weapon R, my car seemed to take off at around 3,000 rpm's but now with the Fujita its about twice as slow and I can't take off like I used to. I never believed the hype about the Weapon R (http://www.mimousa.com/weapon-r-secret-weapon.htm) performing better than a cold air, but now after having both, I DO! Unless I installed it wrong and there's just not enough air going to the air filter, I don't know. I checked all the connections and everything seems good. It just seems the torque isn't there like there's not enough air getting to the filter like it should. Any suggestions before I switch back to the Weapon R?

just like what he said... its two TOTALLY DIFFERENT type of intakes... Expect different sounds and performance... personally i would rather have Higher end HP than low end tq... our cars move preety well as it it in the low end catagroy... Just my .02

It just takes off like a rocket but with the fujita, i really have to hit the gas in order to get it moving. I probably keep it on another week and switch back to the weapon r.

agree 100%... there is no way in a qtr mile run that a weapon r will put out better numbers than a cai

Don't think I need to. I've had the weapon r on for so long that after putting the fujita, there's a big difference in my opinion. Don't think I need to dyno. I just like the weapon r better. Thanks everyone for your input. So if anyone wants a week old fujita, let me know.

Kicks. dyno that Weapon R once you get it back on. I know there have been several dynos with the Fujita. I agree, because CAI robbed my take off too but at the same time my mid-high end is a lot stronger than it used to be.
If you could dyno that would be great. (If what you say is true, I'll sell my Nismo CAI and go with the Weapon R)

Unfortunitely what most people forget about any aftermarket intake is like any bolt up mod, unless you have a T/S reflash of your ECU or an APEXi Super AFC or NEO tuning computer, you will never realize the full potential of a bolt up mod without Dyno Tuning...

I was very torn between the berk and the injen, the injen is way better quality but I loved the sound of the berk. I havent found any dynos of the berk and their website was down for a while so I went ahead with the injen. Im still happy but I wonder what the berks like.

lol, thats funny, believe me I'm no "advertiser" for weapon-r. I just like it better than the fujita. I didn't tell any of you guys to switch. I just noticed a quicker response with the weapon-r then the fujita and thought I'd tell you guys, sooooooooo..........
the haters!

hahah haters? dood we asked you to just dyno it before you do anything so that we can solve this problem..
You feel more power because its easy to accerealte from 0-60 VS being at 75 try to go to 110
If you had the fujita u would for sure feel a better difference at a higher RPM
