I thought weapon r was cheapy ebay brand Oo

i really want headers but the whole thing is so confusing
might just save up and baller out with some Todas lol
How can Weapon R be better then PLM?
I thought PLM were selling Toda Style - Same dimensions, runner lenghts etc etc. Just made from Stainless steel.
PLM is nothing like Toda,Quote:

Whoa not comparing Toda against PLM, any tom dick and harry knows Toda is King Shit.
I thought PLM took the proven macfactures desgines and specs and makes it out of stainless steel and sells it for fraction of the price.
So we get similar proformance.
the injen is a thinner material, its lighter and reduces heat transfer. the pod filters are irrelevent, as they both provide enough flow and theres nothing wrong with the mounting hardware on the injen the diffrence is that injen do there own research and development where as fujita copy the work of other company.... its rota all over againQuote:

they dont copy others work - they are a more expensive and high end version of InjenQuote:

and the pod filter is alot better - we did a dyno test in the workshop back in the day by swapping them around and doing power runs and the fujita won out every time
the only thing that beat the fujita pod filter was the apexi one (basically the same design)
every time i have inspected fujita and injen for servicing the injen pod is always torn or ripped or something on it is rusty
fujita almost dont even need to be checked now because theres never a fault
not being a fan boy - i just like the results - most of the time fujita isnt that much more expensive
WrongQuote:

Didnt Fujita came out with the CAI for TSX BEFORE Injen??Quote:

Regardless, the oiled cotton filter Injen use, wasn't that a "K&N" design originally? like, from the 1960's? SO are they copycats of K&N oiled cotton design?
You got an attitude problem.
they are a replica of the Hytech headers - which is suppose to be a very good header but i dont think they make them anymoreQuote:

weaponR make the best bang for buck gains and i havnt seen anyone have any major issues with them
but their other products are known to crap out - engine torque damper, intake kits etc
DC header apparently is similar to weaponR but has issues with the flex pipes dying
Comptech dont seem to have any complaints but dont get very good gains for the price
then theres Toda which are amazing in everyway but cost $1200 odd
and yet another - Maxim Works (which is the company that makes Toda's headers)
basically a Toda header but slightly higher quality and a $1600 price tag
im leaning toward the WeaponR header - or i might just save a bit more and keep my eyes open for a Toda
mate just sold a used one in good condition for $800 ...
Fredoops is right - lighter and thinner means more heat transferQuote:

they also made a better kit for the Dc2 VTI-R (different intake manifold position) than Injen as well
+1 for Weapon R HeaderQuote:
