Dragon Air Intake Has anyone tried one of these?

Post by seneca »

Hey all, as the title asks. I was just doing a random search through ebay and I stumbled upon these.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... gory=38634

I looked them up and they seem to be for our car. Yet, I've never seen them around before. They could quite possibly be new-er (since I haven't been around much this winter) much is new to me :)

If anyone can provide some feed back it would be much much much appreciated! I need a new intake (since my stock has cracked)!!!! It's time to get a cai!

Thanks

Tyson

Hrmm....I'lll have to continue my search! I really really need something soon! If not this then I'll have to go with the acura set-up. I'd like to try this and be a little different, but if there are hassles involved.....cut me out! :)

THey work pretty good. The only downside is getting it on there. It was a pain in the a-- to hook that intake on. Sounds really awesome though when its workin.

I have always woundered about this intake. But i've never hear of anyone having it. I just wanna know if it fits in our car like a real cold air intake. Or is it just some micky mouse kinda thing.

well if you got amn aftermarket bumper.. just build your cold air intake..they all are real cold air intake as long as "cold air" air from the outside hits the filter. Mine works awesome altough I used an air intake hose not a pipe..i \ll get the pipe latyer and see if theres any diference.. and yeah i can tell a difference in acceleration..not much but its significant. Havent heard alot on the dragon intake and I think its over priced..

they are peices of crap. Most WR Products I've seen & read about have had piss-poor fitment and shitty welds.

Not worth the money. Just fabricate an intake from a civic one, its easier than it sounds.

this is from personal experience because i owned one for about 2 days before returning it. i got my weapon r dragon intake from nopi.com when i first got my car. costed like 150 at teh time. when i opened the box all that was there was there crappy plastic air filter and a 2in long pipe :shock: , i called up weapon r and asked where the rest of my intake tube was because the one pictured was a lot longer than 2inches. they said the picture was a general picture from a honda and that the 2in piece of crap i got was correct for my application.
so in short they sent you a ghetto short ram which doesnt even fit correctly.
goto the store and buy a universal k&n filter and put that on the end of your stock tube by wheere ur intake box is (after u remove it)
