I heard using it too much like that is bad b\c the handbrake wire gets loosened up as u use it more and more. dont use that as a fact,im just stating what ive read and heard in a couple places

Well today i bought a dragon intake for a 94-96 camry 3.0 v6 but im putting it on my 96 es300. i should get it in a week and i wanted to ask if i should take any special precautions when im putting it on so i dont damage anything. I kno already that i have to unhook the battery before i put on the newintake and leave it unhooked liek for 10 minutes after everything is set up and only then start the car. But are there any other things i should know. Like any special ways of how to hook up the air flow sensor or w\e.

Aight problem pretty much solved. Dragonintakes.com has the intake for 115 im ordering the camry 3.0 v6 one for 94-96 applications.

oh ok thanx that clears a lil up,i think im getting the 94-95. i went to cardomain.com and saved all the pictured i could of engines from years 94,94 and 96 and they look exactly the same. so i think ill be getting the 94-95 intake. now ive got another questions. How do i go about putting this intake on. im doing it with someone that is good with cars and put on nintakes on alot of other cars but those r sports cars never on a lexus and i just wanted to ask is there any special precations i shoudl have to not break or damgae anything?? ALSO,which should i get the hyper intake(v2 or something liek that) or the dragon intake????? and does anyone know the difference between them? in reading reviews of this intake some poeple said they had to make thier own crankcase breather or something liek that,what is that and would i need to. Also they say that the foam intake part is crap and to replace it with a k and n if u want to make it good,is this true? is the foam filter bad?

also just found out on a different website that : 1995 Lexus ES 250/300: Now the most popular model in the Lexus line, the 1995 ES 300 receives minor styling changes at both the front and rear. These include a new front air intake, standard fog lights, new brake/signal lights, and a shift in the position of the ES 300 badge from the below the taillight to the trunklid. http://auto.consumerguide.com/auto/used/re...dex.cfm/id/2055 so how could 94 and 95 be in the same intake class when here they say the intake changes for the 1995 edition?!?? damn this is all screwed up. i replyed to comstomer service about this new information i found. they say they will try and reply by next monday,i was planning on buying it this weekend though.

" Dear Customer Service, > > I am planning on buying a Intake for my 1996 lexus es300 from weapon-r very soon but i came to a dilema when i searched for that year at weapon-r.com . In the intakes section you have a 94-95 camry\es300 intake as model number 805-140-101 but the 96-98 intake as 805-136-101. The main question i had is that i know in 97 the lexus style and engine changed and also from what i knew the 1994-1996 es300's where exactly the same(1mz-fe OBD II engines). So how could a 96 es300 take the same intake as the 98 and a different one from the 95 considering they are the same engine. Is this some kind of typing error that you guys have or am i wrong somehow? > > Sincerly, > Kyle " REPLY: Thank you for your inquiry...I will check on the information & respond to you by next monday... Customer service hmmm,i was hoping on ordering the intake today or tomarow. SKPerformance(or i guess anyone else) what would you do would you get the 94-95 or the 96-98 if you where to get one of the two intakes.

well it says there is one for 94-95 camry but its 315 dollars inwhich i can only spend liek 150. and here again shows my original problem,AEM which is a very reliable company has wrote one model for 94-95 and a different one for 96 -02 does anyone know why this is??? i think tomarow i might stop by a lexus dealer and find out if he knows anything about that,prabably not,but atleast find out for sure that 95 air system and engine is exactly alike,so if they are i wont give it a risk and ill take the 94-95 system.

hmmm,cold air box,does anyone know if its actually worth the 85 bucks? like does it give more performance,or is it more like a 1 hp gain. thank you bbsal for the information.

hmm well what would u do? just put it in nuetral or something???? also whats that problem with using parking brake or wait do u mean handbrake? b\c if you mean handbrake then its not needed even on slopes,thats what putting ure car into park does. so pretty much u never need to use ure handbrake other then emergency ormaybe some sliding fun in the snow :D

well first off heres the general picture,like i think every model one looks different,i dnot know if its ram or not http://weapon-r.com/products/productimages/dragonintake.jpg i looked more carefully and they said its just intake not ram intake(said it not directly but inderictly) second if it is a ram why shouldnt i? the problem is i can only spend like 150 on that my dad wont ever let me spend more then that on it(if i do he will stop paying for insurance:() so yea. So if it is ram lets say it wont do anything then? absolutly no better performance(not even sound??) so if i was to get one of them,which one would you recommend getting the 94-95 one? lastly whats wrong with weapon-r?? they where rated very good by some magazone or something that did tests. If not them ,what other ones would u suggest b\c all other ones like aem and some dont have one for lexus. And i dont know about getting one thats just toyota b\c the engine bay and some other things might be different. since the weapon-r intake looks like a short pipe woudlnt it still be better then stock. it has no compartment box restrictions. its a wider pipe i think so more air can go in ,filter is better then oem filter(and also isnt cone more efficent then square). and also the stock "intake" looks liek its a plastic POS while this is sleek metal so air woudl move with less resistance.

hmm one thing i did just find out is according to autoparts4lexus.com the 97-01 have same 1mzfe as 94-96

Ok here it goes. i have a 96 lexus es 300. i have a few questions on intake im getting a weapon r intake. My general questions are .. will i feel a difference in power,what about in gas milage,or in sound(since its automatic tranny,dont kno if that effects sound). also with a new intake will i most likely have to start filling up with a higher octane,b\c right now my dad fills up with 87 and its jsut fine no nocking or anything. But the IMPORTANT question is this. On their website they have this: 94-95 camry/es300 v6 model 805-140-101 ok but then i scroll down 96-98 ES300 805-136-101 ?!?! to my knowledge i thought 94-96 where identical and that 97 and 98 are a different model engine and everything. is that some kind of mistake they made?! or is it the air systems maybe are different but the 96-98 have same air system or something liek that. Because i dont kno what to think or buy b\c on some other forum question someone said they found some other intake that also said lexus 94-95. and no 96 or something and he asked if he can put it on a 96 you guys said you dont see why not b\c they are the same. But here its a lil different b\c they Have the year i need but it jsut doesnt make any sense can anyone help please?
