Air intake

[Briandavila]

Hey so im finally starting work on my 07 corolla s and am looking for an air intake and am deciding between the weapon type r or the k&n 69 typhoon which one do you guys recommend?

If you're buying an intake for performance, i would advise you not to do so. an intake may give you an increase of 5 peak hp, but you lose throttle response and torque in the lower end without exhaust mods and a tune. which means by the time your 5 PEAK hp kicks in, a stock corolla will have dusted the SH*T out of yours. even worse if you have a short ram intake, heatsoak becomes a problem when your car comes to a stop vs a CAI, your motor will bog and feel sluggish due to the high intake temps in engine bay after stopping.

BUT, if you want an intake for the looks under the hood and the sounds that it makes then either the weapon r or the k/n will do the job fine. i believe k/n is c.a.r.b legal while weapon r is not though. so if you are in california, smog checks might be something you would want to consider first before you shell out $200 for an intake.

They're short ram intakes... Weapon-R has the original Dragon, or Secret Weapon intake available. I'd go for Weapon-R's Secret Weapon intake # 305-143-101 .

The Secret Weapon Air Filter is a result of years of testing and tuning of air intake velocity, Air mass and Airspeed. The Result, an Air filter that performs better than any other air filters available in the market today. The Secret Weapon Air Filter provides maximum airflow with the protection of high quality dense Poly Urethane Foam. Studies have shown Flow rates of up to 80% more Air and Better Dirt Filtration with Foam Filter than the conventional cotton filter.

The Secret Weapon Air Filter's main feature is an CAD Designed and Flow benched Tested Velocity Stack, which greatly increases airflow, airspeed and air mass into the engine, therefore increasing engine performance. Another one of the Secret Weapon Air Filter's great features are the capability to be disassembled to be cleaned and then re-assembled after cleanings of the foam filtering element.

Weapon-R Air Filters do not clog, because our filters feature Open Cell Technology Foam, which allows air to flow around the captured dirt. Unlike other filters, Weapon.R Air Filters provides great airflow even when it gets dirty.
