how much horespower do these have stock?

[cashew4sale]

The intake should give about 5 more HP. I dont know. I will let you do the Math.

hey do u know whats better the secret wepion or the dragon intake by wepion r

[cashew4sale]

i think the SW

[absurdny]

You are crazy if you think just a intake is going to give you 20 HP.

[MegaSpamBot]

With hot air in the engine bay, it'll eat up 10 hp easily

Long story short: I had the Weapon-R Dragon intake on my Corolla, and to avoid the heat issue, I upgraded it to the Ram-air Dragon intake (that enclosed the filter in a capsule that had a fat hose running out to the bumper). Hydrolock was avoided by having the filter actually inside my engine bay; yet at the same time, I got the cold air thanx to the hose. The SW intake does not have the capsule (they do still make the hose though) so it's stuck being a quasi-short-ram intake. Too bad.

@cashew4sale hes right its 5 to 7 hp for these types of cars

[CRAZYXBLACKXMAN]

did you install it yourself?(if you did did you have to remove anything other then the stock intake system)

[CRAZYXBLACKXMAN]

worried about heat. I noticed the tube itself gets pretty hot so i wraped it up with 1000 degree F. heat shield tape. Cool as ice now. And purchased a carbon fiber heat shield. Every degree cooler counts.

[sideburns2009]

you are correct. and the people that disagree, well, why are the stock intakes routed for cold air into the fenders and such from the factory and not sucking hot air from the engine bay? because hot is kills combustion efficiency.

[alekkthewolf]

The radiator fans that come with the TL are fairly large, although I could see a heat pocket forming behind that battery.

AEM, GREEDY, HKS Brand names is what makes these mods expensive. just by an air intake thats best in quality and performance. I Bought and Exedy Stage 2 Racing Clutch for My Bmw 635csi. cost me $350 The Ride Was Even Better

this is true! with hot air flowing to your engine you'll lose more then u gain from that airfilter...It suppose to go all the way to the bumper - this will give you cold air which is more denser and it actually increases your fuel economy (depends how u drive) and gives a little boost to your performance ( A little guys NOT 20 hp! its insane) as absurdny states, "It will give you about 5 HP"
