Default New Weapon-R Dragon Intake! (pics)

Installed my Dragon intake yesterday...OMFG...sound is awesome, performance increase is definitely noticeable, and I had a K&N filter in the stock intake before. I beat a VTEC Integra the first time I drove it last night, but I think it was an automatic. It was still fun...

I did end up with an extra hose...a very small hose that runs into a little bronze box on top of the engine. Was attached to a tiny hole on the filtered side of the stock intake box (same chamber the other two hoses are attached to). Does anyone know what this hose is for, and any suggestions for what to do with it now? I was thinking of just jerry-rigging it up to the back of the air filter...anybody dealt with this?

Also, does anybody have this intake w/ the Stage 1 & 2 upgrades (the ram air kit)? They have both stages on sale for $90 at www.importstudio.com, but it looks like it's going to be a ***** to fit the ram air kit in there...I think I can get it down into that lower grill and run the hose behind the battery against the fender...anybody messed with this yet?

Thanks for any input...

Pictures in an hour or two...

Later,
bR

Default Here is the extra hose...

Any ideas on what this hose does or what to do with it now? It was attached to a tiny pinhole in the post-filter side of the stock intake/filter box.

Thanks,
bR

I finally found the website again. I saw this site before. The cold air box shield thing will fit our cars. I was going to say something but like I said I forgot the site. Sweet

Although I did just notice they dont carry it for es300 but I have seen it elsewhere for our cars.

Yeah, the Weapon-R Cold Air box lists an ES 300 application on their website, but I haven't seen it for sale anywhere...
