looking for a short ram intake

[cincinfocal]

i know they make thse for the tc but any word on something like this coming out for the xB2? id rather have that than any of those cold airs...dont feel comfortable with all that hanging around the bottom...

[ciscob]

i know that TRD just came out with the CAI.

[Krzd1]

Weapon-R has one. They are a Scikotic supporter and you get 30% off as a member...

[cincinfocal]

isnt that thing not emisions legal? or carb aprooved? and how do we get that 30% also it says that it is a bent aluminum whereas the pic shows welds...

[Krzd1]

There are none that are legal, at least no in Cali. Not sure about your laws out there but in Cali you don't need to smog for 5 years on new cars....


You can see the welds in the pic if you make it larger :)

is this a good produt? im new to imports and am not fully knowledgeable about the various companies that make products for these cars...i come from a focus and i knew what was good for that...but a lot of these import names sound like APC products to me...and im pretty sure that im gonna put a K&N cone on it cause i have a couple to spare...

You can also buy a cheap ebay one for a tC and get a good filter for it. The only thing you would need is the Randode piece and to make one bracket.

[cincinfocal]

yeah ive seen all that randode action...i just might...thought id get more info on things before i jump into a project...

i can vouch for this intake!! i got ordered mine the day they released them! its called the secret weapon! sounds good, easy install and can feel a slight difference around 3500-5000 RPM's!

What do those run you? It looks really good. I like how it fills the "hole" up where you take the stock stuff out unlike on the 1st gen xB's, the short ram intakes just looked out of place, that's why I had a CAI.

[08_xbeezy]

MSRP on this one is like 269.00 or somewhere in that ball park. i got mine for 197.00 OTD. so it all depends on who you talk too! lol

[triflin]

Yeah, I called Chris at Weapon R yesterday. Call him and tell him your Sciko and he can get you a 30% off discount.

That intake looks great! Weapon R makes some great products. :smile:

[cincinfocal]

i went and bought the TRD one...

[oldvet53]

i have the K&N part #69-8613ts short ram,K&N dyno'd a stock xb and say 9.6hp.&6.5ft.lb.at the wheels, i can tell you it feels like more.:pilot:

[tom r]

i have the K&N 69-8613ts, K&N dyno'd a stock xb and produced 9.6whp. and 8.5 ft./lb. torque at the wheels, i can tell you it feels more like 10 by my seat of the pants dyno. but also have the weaponR 4-2-1 race header&s-pipe,16x6in. magnaflow muffler and borla dual rear section,cat&scuba tank deleet, so i'm making about 183-185 crank hp. and about 160-165 at the wheels, haven't had a chance to do a dyno pull yet am pretty confident about the numbers.:bouss01_gif:
