weapon R intake

hey did you guys happen to see the new weapon r intake for the aveo. i am very pleased that aftermarket companies are starting to jump on the bandwagon and make parts. anyways here is the link.
also it is cheaper then the AEM. http://weapon-r.com/english/index.ph...oducts_id=5450

$207 for a god damn short ram intake??? ill take the $230 aem COLD air intake anytime over this

yeah seems like a bit much, but that is just the MSRP. i found the intake for like 150 shipped. :D
not to bad at that price

I'll vouch for the AEM CAI, its expensive but for a reason, it's a beatiful piece of craftsmanship and made exactly and only for the Aveo. It also produces a very nice deep rich powerful tone.

true but i can make a just as useful cai for half the price.

thenixonyouth were you runing a short ram before you got the aem. i am debating on getting the aem one cause i already have a short ram, and i probley wonlt feel a diffrence from the intake i have and the aem. the only reason i would consider buying a name brand intake would be to support the car within the aftermarket world

youll get a slight difference in performance and in sound.

The differences between the short ram and cai are subtle but definitley there, especially when the cai acutally gets cold-air(winters starting to hit me) and both the low and high end is getting a very nice boost.

secret weapon SRI for the aveo isn't new... It's been around for a couple of years already.

then why hasnt anyone said anything? :roll:

because it was a piece of crap not worthy of talk....it was just a pipe bend with a filter on the end for 200 bucks, and i dont think the air sensor fit in it

My god... Sam even took this post from the OLD site:
http://www.aveoclub.net/phpBB2/viewtopi ... pon+intake
so it's been mentioned since June of last year, most notibly how it's the most expensive SRI around. Does the concentric tubes (their "secret") do anything?? Fluid dynamics say no.

My experience with Weapon-R was a bad one, but it's hard to say how much this was was amplified by the website I purchased through.

Maybe somewhere else would have taken back the wrong intake, not charged me additional shipping and sent me another one quickly.
