Please note that for this application, dual tubing is not possible. This is a single pipe design but does
come with the secret weapon filter.

I have a lot of customers asking me about what the BEST
intake on the market is. Hands down, the Secret Weapon Intake is #1!
The Secret Weapon Intake was designed
to increase air intake volume to the engine. The concept is to create two different air velocity profiles, one
traveling at higher speeds than the other, which a) increases air volume and speed to the engine and b) feeds
the engine 3x more air than a conventional air intake system!
If you want to upgrade your performance, an After Market Intake is one of the First Things You Should Upgrade When Modifying Your Car
My intake systems come with a Secret Weapon Air Filter,
which has re-usable, high density, open pore foam to minimize turbulence and give you even more performance.
Performans better than any other filter available on the market today. Warranty included, 1 million
miles.
The intake comes with everything you need for installation! All
adapters. All fittings. Everything you need to place your existing mass air flow sensor (MAF).
Your engine light will not come on. These products aren't
cheap, they are made of 6061 Aluminum, CNC Mandrel Bent, and then TIG Welded to make a super tight seal and
proper fit. They are made in the USA and polished to show a high quality finish.

How it works
|
Here are some pictures of a flow test done with
our specially designed flow bench. Our flow bench is very similar to those used to test flow in machine
shops. We measure pressure, in this case vacuum pressure, inside of the pipe. The form of measurement we
use is in H2O, or inches of water. This is the same as a majority of industry flow benches. Almost all
flow benches use a meter called a Manometer, which has actual water in it, to make its measurements. We
opted for a more precise method, using a precision tuned digital vacuum meter, provided to us by The
DigiVac Company. The easiest to read this is the higher the number on the display, the better the flow
is through the pipe. All test shown were performed using a Craftsman 5hp wet/dry vacuum as a vacuum
source.

Picture 1 : Picture of the
PATENTED " Secret Weapon Intake Pipe " design. You can see the smaller inner tube used to
increase velocity. The airflow through the inner tube has a higher velocity than a standard 3"
intake pipe. The higher velocity / volume of airflow from the inner pipe creates a low-pressure
vacuum at the throttle body end of the pipe, called a Venturi. This Venturi draws the air from the
outer pipe, increasing its velocity, and increasing the overall volume of air entering the
engine.
|
|
Picture 2 :In this picture, we
first test a standard 3" pipe. Here you can see that the display is reading 1.4 in H20. We cap off
the other pipe to provide a more accurate reading.
|
|
Picture 3 : In this picture we
are now testing the Secret Weapon design. We see that the reading has increased to 2.3 in H20. This
increase is due to the small inner pipe increasing velocity in the intake tract.
|
|
Picture 4 : In this photo, we
test a pretty good-sized K&N style gauze filter. You can see that with this filter, the reading has
actually DECREASED down to 2.0 in H2O.
|
|
Picture 5 : Swapping a Secret
Weapon filter for the gauze filter, shows a large increase over the gauze filter and over just the open
pipe as well. The improved velocity stack and filter design encourages the air to flow in a direct route
through the pipe while maintaining a high velocity and low restriction.

What does this all mean?
The Secret Weapon uses two important laws of physics to increase airflow. The first law
is Boyles law. This law basically states that as air velocity increases, its volume increases as well,
while the pressure decreases. The second law is the Bernoulli Equation, where a moving fluid (in this
case air) has a lower pressure than air that is standing still, or is moving slowly. This same law is
used in NASCAR for both downforce and "drafting." When we increase the air velocity in the
intake, we create a low pressure area that draws a higher volume of air than a standard intake would. In
layman's terms, we are creating a vacuum effect using natural laws of physics.
Do the Weapon-R Air Filters, filter dirt better than K&N / AEM / Injen Air Filters?
The Secret Weapon Air Filter is made of Polyeurethane Foam, which is rated at 300 Pores
per square inch. Whereas the K&N / AEM / INJEN air filters are rated at 30-60 pores per square inch.
This means that there are more dirt particles passing through the air filter to the engine when using
their filters.
Why is the Secret Weapon Air Filter so much better?
The reason why the Secret Weapon Air Filter flows much better than any other filter on the market today
is because of the specially designed Velocity Stack inside the air filter, it helps gather more air into
the air filter and reduces the turbulence of the air into the intake tube. |

Note: Weapon-R products are ONLY tested on vehicles available in the US market. If you are not in the US, please check Wikipedia to make sure that your exact vehicle is also available in the US market because otherwise we will NOT be responsible for the part not fitting your vehicle. Also, when using the compatibility section, please make sure to read the applicaitons table because it may contain information about exceptions for when the part will not fit certain vehicles (for example may say will fit all trims and engines, but in the notes, it will say "Except Turbo")
DR Automotive was founded in 1996 in Los Angeles, California. We started off as a warehouse
distributor for several manufacturers of automotive and performance parts and soon made our way to retail and online
sales. Our main focus is to give our customers the same experience as they would receive at their local speed shop.
We do this by providing super fast processing, shipping, and customer support as well as including in our auctions
as much details and media of the product as possible, most likely more than you will find in a store.
