Weapon-R Dragon Intake System for Honda Civic EX/HX 1996-1998, Performance Upgrade
$217.87

If you're in the market for an intake system that really knows how to breathe, let me tell you about the Weapon-R Dragon Intake System. This isn’t just another piece of aftermarket gear; it’s a well-crafted piece of engineering that’s been put through its paces in all kinds of racing environments across the globe. Seriously, it’s been rated as the “Best Overall Performer” in the 2003 Tuner Performance Reports. That’s not just hype—it actually outshined both cold air and short ram intakes in a head-to-head comparison.

What makes this intake stand out? For starters, it’s made from 6061 aluminum and features CNC mandrel bending. Each piece is hand TIG welded, so you know you’re getting a solid, leak-free fit. The team behind this system tunes it specifically to match your engine’s displacement and airflow needs. That means it’s not just a one-size-fits-all; it’s designed to squeeze every bit of performance out of your ride.

Now let’s talk about the heart of the system: the Dragon Filter. This isn’t your average filter. It’s made from high-quality, dense polyurethane foam that boosts airflow significantly—up to 80% more air compared to traditional cotton filters. Plus, it does a better job at keeping dirt out of your engine. The filter is designed with a velocity stack that’s been CAD engineered and flow bench tested, which means it really maximizes the air volume getting to your engine.

You can get this intake in a variety of finishes, too—polished aluminum, blue, red, yellow, or even carbon fiber. So, whether you’re looking to match your ride or just want something that pops, there’s an option for you.

Additional Details:

  • Many applications are CARB approved, so you can keep it street legal.
  • Open pore high-density reusable foam filter means less hassle down the line.
  • High-polished aluminum piping gives it that sleek look.
  • Everything you need for a straightforward installation is included.

This intake system is specifically designed to fit all 1996-1998 Honda Civic EX and HX models. If you’re ready to give your Civic the upgrade it deserves, check it out!
