Just wondering if anybody has ever heard about these "Weapon R" cold air intakes for the ZETEC, I was wondering how good they are because I'm thinking about puttin a cold air intake on my Mystique, if anybody has any info on them thanks a bunch.

Weapon-R = Crap!
I got the CAI intake and ram-air kit off a guy I know for $20.
I wanted to see what it was like.
Worst $20 I ever spent.
Actually killed performance.
Make an intake or get a CTA.

OK! I see now DO NOT BUY WEAPON R! i knew they looked a little cheap to me they look plastic in the pics, well thanks for the advice. how much do CTAs go for?

I ordered the CTA, but it didn't come w/ all the part's and was missing the directions. I had ordered the weapon r at the same time, so I made a bastard kit out of both... Personally I don't see what is that much better about the CTA???? They both seem pretty comporable to me.

mate your CTA w/ a GMK extension and you will get better gains than a normal CTA or Weapon R
ok first off what is a GMK? and what would be the best cold air intake for the ZETEC?

GMK is an intake made by Granmasterkhan(?) on fastcougar.com forums...there is also the Titan sold over there and the CustomCougars.com CAI extension (which is the cheapest of the $3) that can be made to work with the CTA intake. Just need to drill a 3 1/2 hole through your battery tray around where the fuse box sits. It will probably run you about $200 or so for both though...

I would just make my own intake. All you need a tube that will work for you engine bay. I used an intake from a zx2 and it worked out well.
