sweet! I just installed my intake yesterday. the wepon R is a great buy. And it seems like you installed it better then me. Your rubber hose we got seems longer then mine for some reason. I guess i need to adjust it more.

I cut my hose to fit, and cut a hole in the head cover for it

My check engine light has never been on after my intake. You need to disconnect your batery when installing the intake to reset something, Im not sure what that something is called though, I forgot. After is it installed, reconnect the battery and let the car idol for about 10 minutes so it can pick up the new air flow. If you didn't disconnect the battery, that could be why the check engine light is on.

Can you also explain to me what is CEL? is it have anything to do with intake? what does it look like?

im new into mods thingy. thx

[brianbeme80]

Im not sure I know what CEL is.  What do you mean by that?

[brianbeme80]

Thanks! It is short ram. It doesn't rain much in Vegas, but I do drive it when it rains. I had a short ram on my old car for 4 years, never had a problem during rain. I think it ran better cause of the cooler air.

@darkness1544 The set up on his tC is a Short Ram Intake. It's better than an OEM air box which comes with a vehicle. It is not a CAI however. Weapon-R, the manufacturer, makes a kit that is basically a hose that connects to the intake and connected to the front of the car; grill, or bumper. The hose allows the intake to draw in cold air from an area not located, or at least further from the engine bay. Air around the engine bay is hot. I hope this helps answer your questions, have a good one!

[darkness1544]

is this better than a cold air intake? whats the difference?

[Jake22163]

@brianbeme80 My check engine light came on to and thats all you have to do to get it to turn off is disconnect the battery and let it sit and the start it and wait and it sould fix it?

@harnicodj CEL means Check Engine Light, it comes up to notify the driver of some malfunctions within the car, what you might be experiencing if you installed an intake is the MAF sensor errors, either its not connected or not working properly

@harnicodj

CEL is Check Engine Light. youll get it if you did something wrong with the install, like if its on a bit crooked or if the MAF sensor is set a little odd....

from this video you cant really hear the spool whistle, which sounds amazing as well.

dude it took me FOREVER for the ram air set up. i actually removed the entire bumper and the right-side panel(for fog lights) and have the hose connected to the opening. it creates a nice little pocket.

im assuming the ram air kit couldnt hurt since most the air filter itself still sits as a short ram... it should theoretically have benefits as it allows access to colder air upon gaining a bit of speed. i just finished installing it tonight so i'll test it tomorrow

[pena1128]

hey wuts up. i i have a cai and i noticed that the water that gets in through the crack of the hood is water that leaks on the air filter. have you noticed anything like that?

[evolve900]

oh shit man which one is better a shortram or cold air? i wna get the pipe that goes down to make my weapon r intake into a cold air but dnt wana have to deal with the hassle of taking of my wheeland fender liner just to change it back to short ram intake for those rainy days. Which one is better ? SRI or CAI?
