if you think its worth paying that much for some just improved sound (I do) then get it. I got it used from the classified section, you should check it out.
To buy things new that is the price you'll pay. I sold mine for $85 shipped. From time to time, you will find it for sale anywhere from $65 - $90 used.
From a technical standpoint, its good for 5RWHP, which is not a lot. I think a lot of it has to do with the stock filter/design being so damn good in the first place.
As someone has already said, buy it for a little gain, sound and looks. You won't regret it even at $100-$110.
David is right. Most people who have the pocharger are happy with it. My car has never stalled with it on, but I own a 5AT (installed JAN06). It does sound better, does help a little power-wise (it all adds up), and is easy to maintain. I think it's a good first mod if you are going NA. It's also one of the cheapest unless you're going to buy one of those turbonators:-) The next cheapest thing would be a plenum spacer. Also you could spend the same, give or take on grounding wires. Go ahead and post a question on that and see what kind of response you get, lol.

i just installed mine on friday, and recomend it for the sound primarily, you do feel a little difference going from a dirty stock air filter to a fresh popcharger. I love it
I can't beleive everyone is talking about the sound?!?! The power gains are there! The popcharger is a supporting mod. When you add it with other mods you'll fell the power gains. You can't fell 5whp but you can fell 20whp. The Popocharger, imo, is a must for N/A Modding.
you can hear the intake sucking in air for one, and @ wot it sounds deep and aggressive. the exhaust is louder due to the increase in flow. Sounds great
