I know the gains are close to the same as far as these two intakes go. Are they both short ram?? I keep seeing an extra tube coming down from the K&N. Is it CAI or not?? Which one should I get from a performance stand point?? I think the K&N looks better even though it is more expensive. What do yall think??

Are you speaking about the K&N Typhoon?

popcharger for price and performance
K&N for looks. performance of all CAI is about equal

Look at how many people have a popchrager vs. K&N. Popcharger is the best bang for the buck.

the Pop Charger is less expensive, BUT the Typhoon has a quite a bit more agressive sound to it. It also "looks" better in my opinion.

The K&N Typhoon is a Cold Air Intake (CAI). Ambient air comes from outside the engine bay. The filter is inside the engine bay for easy cleaning.

It would be really hard to notice any real difference in power between these two intakes.
I would recomend the JWT simply due to the cheaper price. They both are washable/re-useable.
The JWT is the best selling intake I think for the 350Z, and that is what I use on my car....

I liked how cheap the Popcharger was. What I didn't like was the heatshield install.

For the money, nothing beats the JWT Pop Charger. Besides, how often will you have your hood open to show off the K&N?

Every time you put a bag of ice on top of the plenum.

Are you certain the JWT has a CARB EO #?

K&N has a CARB EO Number: D-269-30

JWT has a CARB EO number as well, it comes with every JWT pop charger.

davidv I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what's going on with your intake.

So it has a front-mount scoop + tube that gets air into the general box region of the filter, then the filter and intake tube suck the air into the engine?

So, how well sealed is the box where the filter resides? like, does air from other parts of the engine bay bleed into the box or is it sealed off pretty well?

Intakes like this probably don't do much on a dyno since the car is stationary... I bet the performance is much better when driving...
