Dragon short ram?

Has anybody used the Weapon-R Dragon short ram on their car? If you have what do you think about it? Did you notice a difference? or have any problems? I'm curious about it because I don't want a Cold Air Intake because I live in Southern California and they don't believe in drainage here.

04Mazda3Sport is an unknown quantity at this point
I bought one a couple weeks ago, and to tell you the truth, there really isn't that much of a difference. Hell, if there is one, it's definatly not noticeable. Yes, it does look damn good, however there is no place to put the module (not sure what its called) with the Mitsu emblem in it. I got a free cleaning kit and "Cold Air Shield" with it, and I'm betting that the shield is what is robbing ANY horsepower increase. The only way to hear the intake with the shield on it, is to literally stand with your head right next to it. I'm going to be removing the cold air shield here shortly to see if there is any noticeable increase, but I'm betting there won't be. One BIG downside to that intake is that there is absolutely NO place to put an AEM Bypass on it. It's just WAY too short of an intake to put it anywhere. I'll try to get pics of the intake installed in the car on here shortly as well.

Thumbs up

The reason I want to get the weapon-r Dragon is because it's a short ram so it does not require an AEM bypass valve. If you want to put one on you should probably go with a cold air. I wanted to do the short ram just so I wouldn't have to worry about sucking up water. Let me know when you get the pictures up.
