If you're looking to give your 2001-2003 Acura TL Type-S a serious boost, the Weapon-R Dragon Intake System is where it’s at. This isn't just some generic intake; it's a piece of engineering that has earned its stripes on racetracks around the globe. Seriously, it’s been rated as the “Best Overall Performer” in the 2003 Tuner Performance Reports, beating out both cold air and short ram intakes. You know you’re getting something special here.
What sets this intake apart? For starters, it’s made from high-quality 6061 aluminum that’s CNC mandrel bent and hand TIG welded. This means you’re not just getting a good-looking piece of kit; you’re getting a reliable seal and a fit that’s spot on. Every intake is finely tuned to match your engine's displacement and airflow needs, which means it’s designed to maximize performance without any guesswork.
Now let’s talk about the Dragon Filter. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill filter. Made with dense Poly Urethane Foam, it delivers up to 80% more airflow compared to standard cotton filters while also providing better dirt filtration. That’s a win-win in my book. Plus, the filter features a computer CAD designed and flow-bench tested velocity stack, which helps to really ramp up the airflow into your engine. More air means more power, plain and simple.
And yeah, it’s only available in a polished finish, which looks sharp under the hood. Installation is straightforward too—everything you need is included, so you won’t be scrambling for extra parts when you’re ready to install it.
Quick Specs:
- Many applications are CARB approved, so you can rest easy knowing you’re compliant.
- Open pore high-density reusable foam filter for long-lasting performance.
- High-polished aluminum piping that not only looks good but performs well.
- Comes with everything needed for a clean installation.
This intake is a perfect fit for the 2001-2003 Acura TL Type-S, and it’s also compatible with the Acura CL from 1997 and 2001-2003, as well as the Acura TL from 1999 and 2001-2003. If you want to dive into the nitty-gritty of the installation process, you can find the instructions here.
