Which one is better?

Ok I have a choice of getting a r/s akimoto or a weapon-r intake out of these 2 intakes which one has the best horsepower gains, meaner sound, and the most popular?

well

considering most intake gains only give you about 10-15. Now matter what either oine gave ,you wont be getting much. But I suppose every little bit count's. I'd go with the weapon R,It to me atleast looks good. But then again if this is goin on a Camery don't expect to get much out of it.

if you're looking for a fun project, a custom intake should do. its fairly cheap (~$70) and easy to install. as for gains, it should be close, if not, more than the two choices you have right now.

Most intakes do not give you anywheres near 10-15 horsepower. Expect a gain more like 2-5 for your camry. CAI's can only give a car possibly 8 or 10 at the MOST! Even the dyno sheets from AEM only show their intakes producing like 5-7 horses. Definitely dont expect 15 ponies from a CAI on 4cyl cars.

yeah the dyno charts i see for type R's are always like 8-10 at the wheels 9 is the average id say, i thought that weapon R intakes are only short rams though...so then that would give that camry nothin at all, but the cold air would only give it like 3-5 anyways i guess so the short one like 2-3 maybe...

So what should I do then? Should I get a custom intake or stick to the 2 choices I said? Also how come you guys said that I won't get that much of a gain isn't because I have a V6?
