Weapon-R Dragon intake

[spetz]

For $380 it does not seem worth it

Why not get an aluminum one made up for a fraction of the price?

[PHIL069]

Yes, I agree, thats why I asked if anyone knows of an Aus supplier, could be cheaper.
But it does look awesome
I could probably get an ally one made at work for beer

Wondering if something like this would fit:

Of course the battery would have to be moved

Haven't we been through this?

[spetz]

It was a different intake

[Bennoz]

Just have to keep in mind, moving the battery to the boot, isn't like throwing a strut brace on, its something that needs to be done to ADR specs & requires an engineers certificate to be legal. Correct gauge wire, correctly fused, sealed battery, mounted appropriately etc etc

[spetz]

Yes of course.
I didn't realize it needed to be engineered though

Tip:

90deg 3" silicon bend
45deg 3" sillicon bend

Go to an exhaust shop get them to cut a half metre stainless section of pipe.

2x clamps

Podfilter

-put it all together.

Yes the stainless steal absorbs heat, but guess what so does the massive intake manifold that is bolted directly to your hot engine.

Any reason why it should be 3"?
I found 4" to 3" 90 degree reducers and was wondering whether this would be good for the intake, that way a 4" pipe can be used and it would funnel down towards the TB

[silverGPX]

Try and find an exhaust shop with 4" piping let alone a pipe bender that can fit it 4" pipes in it.

In the end its only gotta go thru the smaller 3" TB.

[spetz]

Yes but it will have lesser restriction and the narrowing down will increase intake velocity which is good for power.
4" aluminum piping can be bought pretty easily, and the bends can be silicone.
