No it doesn't fit. And their stuff is real garbage. Chrome plated plastic. I had one of their intakes and it was about 4 inches too tall to close the hood. I sent it back and got a refund. They ain't even worth looking at.

Look at the little cage and housing around the filter. That's all cheap plastic. Also it's a foam filter. The K&N type filters are more efficient and easier to clean, etc.

BartKat is right, I bought one when it was one of the only intakes out for our cars, and now I see why. I tried to send it back a few months later, e-mailed pics of other intakes instaled from this website and sent him all the horible things people said on this website about Weapon-R. They still wont take it back so I'm in the process of buying a INJEN sri!

Import Studio seems to be the retail outlet for Dragon stuff. I sent them a pic and asked them for a return authorization. They agreed it didn't fit, but they said they had to check with the maker. When I didn't hear from them for a few days, I just packed it up with a note and also told them I would not pay a return charge or restocking fee. They did credit my account in a couple weeks.

Here's a pic of how the tube is so tall it won't let the hood close. The tube is just propped up here, but that's the angle that the tube takes when it is sitting on the throttle body as it would be when installed.

I posted a review on the product reviews section here at the time. When Import Studio was trying to give me a hard time I also told them I was going to give them a bad write up when and where I could. They didn't even seem to care.

ya, dragon intakes r $hit. i had to make custom brackets and get longer hoses and plug caps just to get it to fit right in my old car. and the filter is a bit.ch to clean. there are like 20 little a$$ screws holding cheap plastic around a paper thin foam filter. not worth the money.
