Chopper Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 A "weapon R" air filter is a performance replacment for stock air filters. No car in a factory configuration will have one. If your car is stock, you'll have a panel filter inside the airbox (just behind the battery, says turbo on it if you have one most of the time). This should probably be replaced ever 30-60k, they're reasonably priced ($10-20ish).To replace the air filter, you use use your finger (or a flathead screwdriver). There are 6-8 of these tabs (can't remember how many exactly). Once they are loosem, you can lift up on the top of the airbox and see the filter inside. Pull the old one out, place the new one in the same way and lock the tabs back in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 It is an aftermarket filter that allows you to suck warm air from under the hood, make a bit more noise and of course, net 10 WHP. (15 w/ turbo models) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW T5R Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 But what if you just take the stock filter out and toss in the Weapon R filter. I believe the motion of the new filter bouncing around in the airbox while your driving will create optimum airflow patterns for a minimum 26.5hp increase :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil94850 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 ive always read you loose H.P. by adding a under hood intake because your sucking in more hot air. Personally i prefer the cold air intake mod with a K&N ( better flowing filter & getting cold air in same time ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
