Works good on mine, lets in a little extra powder sometimes but no problems with it.

I have one on mine and no problems at all. I'm sure it helps with performance a little.. Cooler air is better

I would buy vent kits with powder screens. Most of the kits out there will allow powder in. Either add the powder screen or buy them with it added. It will prevent getting snow on the turbo intake screen. This is also a must for the clutch side. I have it on ALL my vents and there is no snow under the hood but runs at much cooler temps........

I actually squeezed 2 vents onto the shock tower on the intake side. THe prefilter material is a MUST on anything on the clutch side and I recommend it on the intake side as well. The only place I am not running it, is on the headlight delete, that feeds cold air to my intercooler. I actually prefer that a little snow gets on the cooler as the moisture cools the cooler better than straight air. The headlight delete is covered in standard PVC screen so it does block most of the snow.

I've got every vent you can put on a Dragon and then some with no issues. I did come up with a little add on that seems to help air flow through the intercooler I will try and get some pics up. Very cheap to do.
