i heard it cuts down boost lag on N/A cars.

seriously, that thing is pointless.

Weapon R is pretty much the worst part company out there. This is a prime example of their crappy products.

I can almost say that I can mathematically justify that it does in fact do something but I don't think it's going to make your car any faster, seriously flooring it is flooring it there's no trick to that.

The velocity stack inside the air filter is a TRUE VELOCITY STACK. The Air filter has Ram Air capability, by hooking up the hose to the top of the air filter.
The intake has another Air Passage way inside the intake pipe to create a Air Fusion, imagine 2 different pathways of air inside the intake pipe, one air traveling in pathway #1 going 2 x faster than pathway #2. When the two different pathways of airflow meet at the end of the pipe they create a fusion effect which enhances the AIR SPEED of the by 3 times.

The Secret Weapon Intake Systems is an result of countless hours of testing and tuning of air intake velocity, Airmass and Airspeed for each vehicle application. The Result, an intake system that performs better than any Cold Air Intake, but with a Short Ram. It is possible by Weapon*R's Patent Pending Speed Velocity theory, By creating a higher airspeed in the intake path you increase airmass and airspeed, which greatly increase horsepower.

This is possible by Creating two different paths of airflow, both flowing at different airspeeds, due to the tubing diameter in which the air is traveling. Now when the 2 different paths of air meet,they create a vacuum, which is where the airspeed starts to multiply, forcing more air into the engine at a higher rate, creating more horsepower.

The Secret Weapon Intake Systems are carefully CNC mendrel bent out of 6061 Aluminum, and then Hand Tig Welded in sections to ensure a constant balance in airflow, regulation in airspeed, positive seal and proper fittment. Each one of these intake systems are carefully tuned, by matching the engines displacement, air intake capacity and airspeed to the intake systems tube size,length and secondary pathway tubing diameters to maximize the full potential of the SECRET WEAPON INTAKE SYSTEM.

This Intake is Matched with our Newly designed SW1 Filter, which provides maximum airflow, with the protection of high quality dense Poly Urethane Foam. Many studies have shown Flow rates of up to 80% more Air and Better Dirt Filtration with Foam Filter than the conventional cotton filter. The SW1 main feature is an Computer CAD Designed and Flow benched Tested TURBO Velocity Stack, which greatly increases airflow ,airspeed and airmass into the engine, therefore increasing engine performance. Another one of the SW1 Filters great features are the capability to be dis-assembled to be cleaned and then re-assembled after cleanings or to change the color of the foam filtering element.

weapon r's marketing is ****ing busch league. they use a bunch of fancy cool sounding words like "turbo velocity stack" as seen above and completely sensless explanation of "extraordinary" technology to sucker young kids into buying their shitty chinese products.

Boost lag on my all motor car is my problem I heard I had to get nitrous to fix that... or one of those weapon-r thingys.

I'm not sure who sucks more: OBX or WeaponR?
What's cooler: Spoon or Mugen?
In the mid range part category: Skunk2 or Blox?

This item will make no extra power. In fact, with the adjustment your throttle cable has on it stock, there is no advantage what so ever by adding that to your car
