instead of using the screws, just use some double sided tape to hold the heat shield to the snorkle. that way, you dont have to put holes in the snorkle and it will hold up just fine.

 

it dont have to be new to whistle.. hehe.. but yes its true.. when its new its more noticeable... but dont forget to clean them... makes alot of difference too... had mine for about a year.. love it...

 

looks like the JWT pop charger is a good choice? i m still trying to decide which one to get... any recommendations? Thanks!

 

JWT Popcharger- Great sound.

K & N Typhoon - However, doesn't have the nice sound. It about double the price. However, it is true cold air that you can add ram air to if you want to.

 

+1 on the popcharger

 

+2 on the Popcharger. Easy install, too.

 

Paint that heat shield! Why does JW make the heat shield that ugly gold... I painted mine black. Looks much better.

 

That is a great idea !!!!

JWT used a alodine coating:

Alodine" is a non-anodic protective coating. Alodine {aka Iridite, aka Chromate Conversion} is a microscopic thin film commonly prescribed on aluminum to:

1. Provide an Excellent surface prep for paint aid in Corrosion Resistance
2. Impose desired Electrical 'Resistance' characteristics, and so is commonly
prescribed for Radio and Amplifier cabinets.

Bottom line is it is a cheap and good way to protect aluminum parts.

 

finally installed the jwt pop charger today.. thankz for the pics n tipz.. i m amazed at the sound of it combined with the nismo catz!

Ive had both a Popcharger setup (open cone filter on stock tubing) and now the K&N, and they sound pretty much identical. If one sounds better i would say the K&N because of the metallic resonance you get from the air box.

Prefer the looks of the K&N carbon fibre lid and the box that shields from hot engine air + it has the snorkle if you want cold air ram, im very pleased with it! Though like it has been said, its hard to beat the sound per $ that you get from the popcharger.
