Added Ram Air & Heat Shield upgrades to intake...
Pretty nice...definitely noticing the diminished low end torque, but you can pretty much neutralize it because the engine responds alot more to how you accellerate, so if you pump it right, you can still pop off the line pretty well.
Definitely beefs up 2nd+, evens out sound to a nice grumble that the car next to you can still hear, but won't wake the neighbors like the Dragon Intake by itself. It was kind of a pain in the *** to install...took about 3 hours, but I managed to do it without disconnecting the battery, just had to move it over a little.
The worst part was getting the little tube out that goes around between the battery & the quarterpanel so I could run the intake hose through there. It's attached with one plastic peg/screw thing that doesn't really unscrew, and is at an extremely awkward angle. I ended up just breaking off the screw, which I would recommend doing in the first place, because that thing did not want to come out.
There were a couple of spots where I had to squeeze the intake hose down a little to get it through, but I don't think that affected it much.
Anyway, it's pretty cool. Comes with a storm shield that you can screw on if it's raining, then you just detatch the hose from the filter and you're back to the standard Dragon intake. I'll get some pictures posted this afternoon.
