popcharger is just a air filter you attach to the stock intake tube. take out the stock airbox. when you buy a pop charger it comes with instructions. not a hard install and a newbie should do it within 40 mins. get the popcharger if you are worried about water coming in to your motor

Popcharger is all I know, and I love it since day one. After 4,000 RPM's...

You'll hear.

my freind has a CAI and i have the popcharger... i really prefer the popcharger over the cai. CAI's dont force air in..the position and filter type of the jwt force air in especially at higher speeds

From my experiences a FI car needs the whole factory air setup removed. Also, I have the injen intake which is considered the "warm air" intake, but I ran a 3.0" hose from behind the grill up to the intake creating a ram air type setup.

There is an alternative which meets both of your requirements: cold air from outside the engine bay, and the filter under the hood to protect from ingesting water.


The K&N Typhoon Air Intake.
