ATTN: Due to some manufactures restraints some intakes only have a single tube design. Prices have been adjusted to compensate for this. Every Intake will come with the SW Filter!

We would like to explain how the " SECRET WEAPON " Intake system works.

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.

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.

Do you have experience with this part? Please post your review below!
