The Dragon name comes from Weapon R's proprietary dual velocity profile, which routes two separate air streams at different speeds so they pull against each other and increase total airflow volume beyond what a single-stream design can produce. The result is a bolt-on upgrade that requires no tune, fits the shared Toyota 3VZ-FE platform, and carries CARB EO number D-489-2 for full 50-state street legality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey

This intake holds CARB Executive Order number D-489-2, which means it is certified street-legal in all 50 states, including California. You can present the EO number during a smog inspection as proof of compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Dragon Intake add horsepower to the 3.0L V6?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeapon R's dual velocity profile is designed to increase airflow volume beyond a standard single-stream intake. Real-world gains on the 3VZ-FE vary by vehicle condition and other modifications, but the primary goal is to reduce intake restriction and improve throttle response across the RPM range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engine does this intake fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis intake is engineered specifically for the Toyota 3VZ-FE 3.0L V6. This engine was used in the 1994-1996 Lexus ES300 and the 1994-1996 Toyota Camry (LE, SE, and XLE trims). It does not fit four-cylinder Camry models or other engine codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill I need a tune after installing this intake?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo tune is required. This intake retains the factory MAF sensor and uses a direct bolt-on configuration that the ECU handles through its normal airflow relearn cycle. Allow the engine to idle for 10 to 15 minutes after installation for the ECU to adjust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean the Dragon foam filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dragon filter uses high-density polyurethane foam that is washable and reusable. Remove the filter from the intake pipe, rinse it with warm water, apply a mild automotive cleaner if needed, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling. Do not use compressed air to dry the filter or reinstall it while wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this intake fit both the Lexus ES300 and the Toyota Camry?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The 1994-1996 Lexus ES300 and the 1994-1996 Toyota Camry share the Toyota XV10 platform and the 3VZ-FE engine architecture, so this Dragon Intake fits both vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this replace the entire factory airbox?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The Dragon Intake is a complete short ram replacement for the factory airbox assembly and intake tube. The factory airbox base, lid, filter, and tube are all removed and replaced by the Dragon Intake pipe and filter as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does installation typically take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor someone with basic hand tools and moderate mechanical familiarity, installation typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The most time-consuming steps are labeling and reconnecting vacuum and breather hoses and allowing the ECU idle relearn period after startup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of filter media does the Dragon filter use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dragon filter uses dry high-density polyurethane foam. No filter oil is needed. This keeps maintenance simple and eliminates the risk of over-oiling that can affect MAF sensor readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this product covered under Prop 65?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo Prop 65 warning applies to this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Weapon R Dragon Intake (MPN 805-140-101) is covered by Weapon R's \u003cstrong\u003e1 Million Mile Limited Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e against defects in materials and workmanship.
