Does anyone have the Dragon Intake? Is it a CAI or Shortram? How is the performace in comparison to the iceman and others? They say its dynoed for a 7.2HP increase, can anyone verify?

I bought one awhile back and it fell apart in like a month, very crappy quality, I am getting an apexi power intake filter now, and if you wanted, you could have a couple mandrel bent pieces welded together to make an itake tube for cai or whereever you wanted to relocate it... lot cheaper than buying these crazy over priced kits...

My roomate has one on his MR2...its a shortram. I doubt it gives a much HP as a Cold air but it sounds sweet. I like it. The foam filters are pretty cool.

well, it looks good in a picture, i give it that.. got me to buy it... but its cheap plastic with spray paint chrome that chips easy, the hex screws that hold the filter together rattle out and in my case, the foam element almost got sucked into my turbine... fuk dat! i expect higher quality than that, and all that happened in a week or 2 of every other day usage at most.. i expect more from a 70 dollar filter only..
