No problems with my pop charger at all. When installing the heat sheild, the two small screws that secure the front of it to the pass through duct in the ratiator support are a real b!tch to install (alot of people just leave them off), but otherwise, it's a breeze.

I've noticed that some people with the pop charger are switching to the 06 intake. My question is, I have an 06 and was thinking about getting the pop charger, is there any reason I should just stick with the stock intake? I would think (I'm a newb, so I don't know for sure) that the pop charger would be better than the stock intake. But if people are switching then I have no idea.

I have an '03, so i got rid of my popcharger,and got an '06 airbox, because it has the velocity stack inside, and it wont suck in hot air like the popcharger does. Best of both worlds! Minus the growl. But i'm getting Kinetix V+, so i'll get the growl back!

^^^^probably(performance for your dollar stock with a k&n is best for near stock), but the pop charger looks cool...and my Gruppe-M looks the coolest, even better than the ARC.

I could provide a ton of jokes/funny pictures to this thread... but I'll go ahead and be serious for anyone who's very new to owning a Z.
The Popcharger is a great first add-on. It won't make your car any faster, but it will make it sound much louder under WOT. The only thing to check when installing one is to make sure that the clamp holding the filter on is tightened and secure, as it is NOT tight from the factory.
To anyone with more then like 25 posts here, this is probaly some really "DUH" info, but I have seen three people with popchargers (and even myself for awhile
) where the clamp was so loose that the filter would fall off.

and it is well known that a pop charger emits the same whistling sound as a 'deer whistle' < the whistle hunters use to attract deer, so do not drive your car through the forest or you might get attacked.
be safe my friend.

But trust me when I tell you, Motormouth, aside from his sometimes sarcastic demeanor, is a true asset to this community. The kid is well informed!

Wide Open Throttle..... go with the JWT PopCharger and Varis intake duct. That will get you your cold air back. I wouldn't say Motormouth is an asset to this community... oh wait.. yeah I would. He's helped me out a few times.

The only problem I have is that I love the sound at WOT so I keep on flooring it... wait is that a problem? Get the pop-charger you'll love it, the sound alone makes it worth buying.
