Weapon R Dragon Intake ?

Anyone here had any experience with the Dragon Intake. I just ordered one for my 9! GXL and I need somebody to tell me I did the right thing....

It's going to blow your intake manifold and pop the rivets off your floorboards.

It's just an intake. As long as it keeps dirt, debris and small animals on the outside of your motor, and sucks nice clean, fresh air on the inside, you're pretty safe. I hope you didn't pay more than $90 for it though.

Just an update on the Dragon Intake. It was hell tyrying to cut to fit. Got it in, performance was unimpressive. I now have the stock airbox back in. Should have left it alone.

Doesnt that "weapon R" Intake include a hard pipe from the TB to the AFM? Could you post some pics of it?

And about "Got it in, performance was unimpressive"..
What did you expect? Its just an intake, and wont really give any noticable power gains. Youll pick up a few HP maybe.

Does anyone have links for it? I haven't heard of this intake. Is it on any websites? I wouldn't mind checking this out and see what it looks like.

EDIT I think I found some pics of it. But that doesn't look like yo have to cut for it to fit. What did you have to cut? It seems like a simple "short ram" intake. WHich is just a ricer pipe with a filter on the end of it inside the engine bay. Maybe you should have taken a look at our site. And yes you should not expect anymore than 10hp from intake. Anything more is just going to be hard to get. We will find out hopefully when the biotches let me dyno!

I think it used to be on nopionline.com but I didn't see it just now. Was a generic picture anyways I believe.
