I purchased the SCA cold air intake ( www.scracing.net) and am very pleased with it. With either of the three you cant expect much horsepower increase so its hard to tell you which to go with.

You can get a Weapon*r Dragon Intake Systems at Importstudio . I have no idea about the HP gains. But it's not much, 3-5 HP.

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me out. I have a '99 I4 Cougar and was thinking about getting the Weapon-r intake. They don't have one for a I4 Cougar but they do have one for a I4 Contour. Do you guys think that the intake pipe for the Dragon Filter would be the same in the Contour as in the Cougar? Any info would be great!!!

Speed Demons,
Where did you get your injen cai? Is it very different from the SCA cai? Any problems with MAF sensor (I heard it's gets screwy when you change its relative position)?
TIA

I had some connections win Injen down in Pomona L.A., they were going to mass produce but didnt have enough support from consumers. Mine came from being tested on my SVT. I havent had any problems, actually the MAF sensor is not used like SCA's. They have their own built into pipe. Only problem would be a heat problem but everyone is going through that. I prefered the Weapon R filter on it however, switched from the K&N. So i have the Injen Cold Air Intake with a Weapon R filter on it.
