Cold air intake
I bought a Weapon-r dragon intake for my 2001 Lexus es300 twin throttle body model, and I’m trying to install it, and the problem I’m having is I don’t know where to connect the VCV (vacuum control valve) to on the new intake. Can anyone help me?

Hello,
There is no spot specifically designated for the VSV in that intake, since it is a multi-brand item; to install one, you will have to make your own spot. With that, those kinds of intakes do not give that much of a performance improvement, especially in those cars, where the intake is well designed right from the factory. In my opinion, you will be much better off reverting to the stock system and not have any issues.
Hope this helps and best of luck!

This is a hot air intake by design, how they get to call it a cold air intake is beyond me.

This specific valve doesn't have to be attached directly to the intake, it is there only to make sure that it gets filtered air. There are two ways to go about it, either drill a hole in the intake and then find a way to secure the valve to it, or design a separate filter specifically for the VSV. With latter, you will need to remember that smaller filters clog up much faster, so you will have to keep an eye on it much more often, and it is a valve that supplies fresh air to the fuel tank to displace fuel.
Hope this helps and best of luck!
