Default Weapon R Ram Air for EM2

Does anyone have one of these? Ive got an Injen CAI right now, but ive been hearing some good stuff about these WR ( in the area of 6-10+WHP) which is alot higher than my injen(4-8whp) If anyone has one let me hear some feadback.

its really not going to make a noticeable difference stick with your intake and go on to h/e

done that already. Headers/Downpie/Exhaust, still has terrible response. was hoping maybe the ram air would respond a little better than the CA did.

naaa em2s are generally just slow so unless you boost,spray or swap its still gonna be slow

ha thats funny. I bought a swap, but now im sellin it. If only i was one of those people who didnt care. Ive gone over every possible N/A set up for the D17. The only thing i can think of is Pulleys (bad idea) or Swaping the manifold. As for everything else, Ive been there done that. I was just hoping maybe the ram air may add a little more torque

what about building the internals?
bolt ons generally aren't going to make a huge difference

you will not get those numbers. stick with your injen. you won't notice any difference between your injen and weapon r

+1 on what trustdestruction said, do an engine swap and/or boost it. you will notice a lot more power

Building a N/A D17 won't get you far. Go with a nice t3/t4 turbo, kpro, stage 3 cam, pnp, and so forth and you'll get nice results. You can go about 200whp before you gotta upgrade your internals anyways.

a CAI or SRI won't make any difference in HP if they both have good filters.

CAI's are more expensive and I believe get dirtier quicker, but that's it.

well i have a K20A3 swap with ECU and most of the acc, just need subframe,axles, mounts,and a couple other parts. As far as internals go, I havent seen any shafts for the D17. AEM makes a gear, but thats pointless unless you turbo. I dont really trust the underdrive pulleys bc all they do is underdrive your acc to give you engine more power. If I dont have the means to finish the swap(thats for sale), then I might try upgrading the manifold to add a little more airflow. Anyone know where I can find a cheap subframe or RSX Shifter cables, I have EP3 cables, but they wont work for the swap.
