technically it is a CAI since it uses the stock air diverter to pull air from the front of the car to the filter

GET IT! I kept it on my old K&N over the winter and was shocked to see how much crap accumulated on it. That being said, it was a true CAI so it's more likely do gather dirt. I don't know how much road detritus will end up in our engine bays with a WAI...

power gains.. not really noticeable. and even if i did feel the power gain, it's probably just mental.

the car does feel more responsive though.. (then again that may be mental too)

The QR is a very noisy engine. The stock airbox (which is very good at bringing in air) really muffles the sound. As soon as I slapped my Fujita on there it ROARED!!! Since the design of our aftermarket intakes is virtually identical, when you've heard one, you've heard them all...

...unless you've got a CF intake.

I have a Weapon R intake already, but I am thinking about getting a K&N. Is K&N so much better than fujita or injen?

I would say so because of their heat shield design that incorporates the stock air flow tube and they are of course K&N
