I know the JWT has great reviews in the forum but I am curious if anyone has moved from a K&N Drop-In to the JWT Pop Charger? Any improvement at the pedal? How is sound compared to the K&N drop-in? The drop in changed the stock exhaust note for sure, very curious if I should put the $120 in the JWT? I've had the drop in for 3 years so I'm not concerned about losing the investment in it. Any comments appreciated from migraters or JWT owners.

i did that, IMO it was a neat fun improvement. It sounds meaner. maaaaaybe has more power

 

I had the JWT popcharger and it was just awesome. The growl on the higher RPMS, and the whistling sound is the coolest. Best bang for the buck.

 

Dump that drop in. You will be so glad you did.

 

I have the K&N drop-in as well so the debate rages on. I guess for $115 it's (JWT) worth a "try".

P.S. The drop-in does have a *barely noticeable* whistle when you blip the throttle at low RPM.

 

yah if u dont like it sell it and u can get most of it back anyway
everyone is down to buy a popcharger

 

avalonracing has popcharger for 109 shipped..

 

Do you have a coupon code for free shipping, because I just checked and it's an additional $9.95. Still, this is as cheap as I've seen it. Thanks for the tip... I might take my own advice and "try" it this week.

 

Did you install yours after you had your other mods on?

 

just do it and get it over with. It's cheap, it's fun and it definitely is a major sound upgrade to the stock (with a drop in K&N)

 

K&N typhoon intake is the answer 4 all Q's

 

Hey man, that's a pretty authoritative statement, there. How do you back it up?

 

There is no doubt that the JWT pop charger does much better than the K&N drop in. For one thing, you get rid of the restrictive intake box.

 

I had the K&N drop in and recently switched to JWT. Very noticeable difference in exhaust note for me, but i have test pipes. The "whistle" is louder, it deffinatly flows better than K&N. No change on the butt dyno, I mean its just a filter. But, with you having the spacer you might have more to gain from it. Theres no doubt its the best intake for the money
