Does it matter what kind of intake tube you get, Just as long as I have a JWT Pop Charger?
Cuz I'd rather just get a cheap painted tube and repaint it the color of my car.

The pop charger does not require any tube. Why not paint the one that you have?

It depends what tube you are talking about. Remember that the tube which connects to the filter must have a connection for the MAF sensor.

Of course. I just want to know if I can get a cheaper intake kit repaint it and replace the filter for mine.

It's not being a cheap bastard... IT's being smart. Why spend 200 plus for a tube that has no purpose but putting air in to your engine when all you're paying for is the name and filter. Thats what I'm trying to get down to the bottom of.... If I can buy a silver tube and REPAINT it to MATCH MY CAR, SO THAT IT LOOKS NICE...... And just replace there crappy filter for my JWT Pop Charger.
