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.

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

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.
