Weapon R or RK Sport

First questions is which do you think would be better to get overall. (i mean by hp /tq gains, and the way they fit....etc...) and second question is does Weapon R make a 4-2-1 header? (where would i be able to find it at?)

I believe weapon-r makes Headers.. you can check there site @ www.weapon-r.com. or you can go to www.ppraudio.com, I know they have them on there..As far as Gains you would have to check the weapon-r website under dyno results. <br>

I know that both make intakes...

Here's the thing... an intake is an intake is an intake. Even the differences between CAIs and WAIs are hardly noticeable in most situations... go with what works for your budget

BTW, I can get those for ya

I installed a Weapon-R intake on my 04 Cavalier ECOTEC. They cost around $150 and give about 10HP gain to the top end power. I lost a little of my acceleration by installing it from stock. But.. it SOUNDS awsome when you accelerate. I also ran into a problem with the "special" cast elbow being to large under the hood. I had to remove the under-hood fire drop and plastic throttle cover. At first the throttle would get stuck on the elbow and connector. I fixed this problem my cutting the reducers 1" shorter.
Also, there are Weapon-R headers for the ECOTEC. They cost around $200. I believe these gave 15HP. I belive you can find 1 from PaceSetter for cheaper.
Overall I like my Weapon-R Dragon Intake System. I hope my posting helps you with your desision.

I have an RKsport header and it sucks. I mean the power is great but it leaks at the Y pipe connection to the header itself, i have had to change the gasket at least 10 times in the past year. I would go with the the header that Bill's Isuzu Performance makes. The RKsport header does not fit very well at all for stares and the bolt holes for the Y pipe to header connection are all in a line parallel to the engine (which causes a major flex point), I even install stiff upper and lower motor mounts and this still did not fix the Y pipe problem. Good luck if you decide to buy one, my header has made me so mad that i have decided to go turbo so i can ditch the RKpoop header.
