Ok, heres the dilemna..i need to buy an intake system because i am following along with my ambition of modifying my six this summer, BUT i am not sure if the one i want is available for a 1995 MX6 V6. I was looking at a ROAR hypercharger unit. ( http://www.roarinc.com/ ) Not only am i unsure of its availability (which i emailed roar about..still no answer)..but its VERY expensive. So i am going to hold off on the roar and get something cheaper, something temporary. Ive narrowed it down to these.

- Weapon-R dragon intake (does this remove the mass air sensor? Isnt that bad?)

- Weapon-R air box open element adaptor (no tube, just a bracket and a filter after the airbox)

-PRM intake (might be too much $$ since im hoping to get the roar anyway..but its still my first choice)

- RACtive heatshield filter

any suggestions? Budget is of UTMOST importance..and of course horsepower....

hot shot would be the way to go, but just make your own. I would not recomend the weapon r because it is not a cold air intake. I made mine for $50. for more info, check out my web page below, and if you still have any more questions, e mail me.

whats the CFM rating on that hyper charger?

the weapon-r dragon intake is indeed a cold air intake, and i would recommend u get that one. the weapon-r open box element is the one that draws in hot air, u dont want that. hotshots seem to be the favorite among the crowd. prm's have a very small filter which many be restrictive, but will not have problems concerning hydrolocking. i dont think any intake systems will remove the VAF (MAF) because your car wont drive without it. this roar thing ... i would take it with a grain of salt. it seems they have very good marketing poeple working for this company. i would like to see some dnyo plots. to me, i think this idea would help somewhat in the low rpm range, but that fan will probably be a restriction in the higher RPM range. anyways, i think someone in probetalk tried this thing once and a bolt came loose off the fan and it got sucked into his #5 cylinder and ... well ... u can imagine.

the weapon r dragon is still considered a hot air. If you look at the following link, you will see it still sucks in hot air under the hood.

the hot shot actually moves the intake under the car where cold air is abundant.

as for water sucking through, just push the filter a few inches up above the splashguard to prevent this.
