I've heard that weapon-R's FILTERS are to be stayed away from.

Yeah, I've seen them, but I've never heard of nayone actually having one on their Vibe. I would just go with Injen, K&N, or AEM or something along those lines. A lot of people even have Cosmo Racing and a few I think even have the Bomz.

well, after reading Weapon-R's website http://www.weapon-r.com, I must say that I think I'm impressed (either that, or have been fooled by a very good marketing scheme).I'm not sure what to think...I like their CLAIMS, but are they legit? they seem so..

DO NOT GET WEAPON-R. They SUCK! I had one on the Vibe at first. I had horsepower loss if anything. It was terrible. And also, I didn't use the POS foam filter, I bought a cone filter instead. Talk about horrid. I would highly recommend not getting.Inder
