Default Guess what I got from eBay... *PICS*

So I decided to buy an intake for my car, I wanted one that sounded nice so I decided to opt for the Weapon R DRAGON Intake. Heres a link to the auction page.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=7994466683

Anyways so I decided to open the box and to my surprise... This is what I got...





What the hell?! Apparantly they sent me the SECRET intake instead of the DRAGON one! (SECRET is alot more expensive then the DRAGON one).

I tried searching for any information on S2ki about the SECRET intake and it seems like no one has it but me?

Anyways, I'm still deciding whether or not I should keep the intake or get my original paid-for DRAGON intake.

The Secret intake has a pipe built in and a different filter.

And no one has really reviewed it here.

For some reason, I've always thought Weapon R seemed about as quality as APC. I've not heard reviews on either of those intakes, but my guesses are, it's not going to make any difference HP wise.

And the reason for no reviews is probably because (I'm sorry to say) those intakes are crap. I'm sure it'll give you a louder sound, though.

IMHO there probably won't be much gained.

The dual piping system is pretty interesting though. Seems very well manufactured.

If those are screws holding the inner pipe make sure they are secure with some loctite or something hate to see the screw come loose and go in your engine. Otherwise it looks fine!

I can't really do anything about the screws because they are bolted on... It's very secure however.
