![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
sorry for the stupid question but i have seen alot of people say they have it.. but i am unsure of what it is *yes i have searched*
what is it? what does it do exactly? i read a thread where it replaces the Intake? how many HP/TQ gain is it good for? how much does it cost?
Also the 06 Z doesnt need a plenum spacer correct? since it already has the higher output engine? sorry for my ignorance... just got the Z recently after having a modded 97 Civic for 9 years

I have a popcharger and am very happy with it. I wanted a balance between a little extra power, sound and ease of cleaning, so I went with it. The Nismo CAI probably helps bring in more power, but I don't think it's worth it because it's a pain to clean and there is a slim chance of hydrolock. But that's just me. To each their own. From what I've read, the popcharger is probably the most popularly installed aftermarket intake for the Z.

I got my popcharger for $120 from Performance Nissan. Someone else paid $109 from avalonracing.net:

you can try asking for a price-match when you call performance nissan parts. ordered my nismo catback there and popcharger from avalon racing, but the guy ended up offering the popcharger for $110. so i cancelled my order at avalon racing and ended saving the shipping cost i would've paid as well.
