While Weapon-R is best known for its air intake kits, the brand has been building other performance-enhancing parts for many years. Its racing headers are a popular close second and have been well-received for some time now as an effective means to increase exhaust flow and provide notable horsepower and torque gains at an affordable price. 

Weapon-R’s lineup also includes intercooler pipe kits for an existing turbo and intercooler. This will help guarantee your turbo is receiving the coolest air possible, while attractive wider aluminum pipes allow for higher airflow.
