Weapon-R Secret Weapon Intake for Mazda Protege 1999-2003, High-Performance Air Filter
$272.61

Alright, let’s talk about the Secret Weapon Intake. If you're looking to give your Mazda Protege a little extra oomph, this is the way to go. Designed to amp up the air intake volume, this bad boy creates two distinct air velocity profiles. One's cruising at a higher speed, while the other takes a more leisurely approach. What does that mean for your engine? Well, it’s like feeding it three times more air compared to your stock intake system. More air means better combustion, and that translates to more power.

The intake pipe is crafted from top-notch 6061 aluminum, and it's bent using an automated CNC mandrel bender, so you know it's not just some off-the-shelf part. Plus, it’s polished to a high shine—definitely something you’ll want to show off under the hood. The included SW1 Air filter has a tuned velocity stack, which helps boost air speed while keeping turbulence to a minimum. Just a heads up, it only comes in a polished finish, but honestly, it looks great.

Here’s the lowdown on some of the features:

  • 1 Million Mile Limited Warranty—yeah, you read that right.
  • Reusable foam filter with open pore high density—no need to keep buying replacements.
  • High-polished aluminum piping that not only performs well but looks slick too.

This intake is compatible with all 98-04 Mazda Protege models, whether you’ve got the 1.8L or the 2.0L engine. Just keep in mind that it fits like a glove on the 1999-2003 Mazda Protege and the 2001-2003 Mazda Protege5.

If you’re thinking about installation, you can find the instructions here. It’s pretty straightforward, so you can get back on the road and feel the difference in no time.

What is Weapon-R?

Weapon-R is a well-known manufacturer of aftermarket accessories for a number of popular makes and models. It is focused on performance products that will improve the power of your vehicle which, in turn, make the car an even greater joy to drive. Weapon-R parts are, oftentimes, considered to be some of the most unique, highest performing, and best looking in their class. With more than a decade of experience in building go-fast parts for speed demons, Weapon-R has garnered a respectable name of itself. Its products are popular among enthusiasts who crave effective performance without breaking the bank.

What Does Weapon-R Offer?

As aforementioned, Weapon-R is primarily known for its quality, high-performance intakes. At the forefront of its inventory is the Weapon-R cold air intake. The proper air intake will allow your engine to breathe better and get a lot more air at better temperatures. This, in turn, provides better fuel economy while also improving vehicle acceleration. Each individual Weapon-R part is built with a specific vehicle in mind and crafted from only the highest quality materials to ensure longevity and durability.

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.
