I just got my POP-charger today in the mail (along with a nismo shift ****, thanks to Jeff@WestCovinaNissan for an awesome deal ).

Anyway, when I was researching it, I couldn't find that many sound clips but everyone just said it sounded much better. I thought I would make my own comparison video for you guys to see the difference between the stock airbox sound and the pop charger. So here it is:

Forgive the quality, the only way I could do this was with the built in camera and mic on my macbook.

I still smile everytime I romp on it.

I might not be hearing it much more in the near future though...

Hmmmm... are you hinting that you will swap out your popCHARGER for something else that ends with ____charger?

No problem guys, I was wanting to hear a comparison too but just couldn't find one. To tell you the truth, at first I wasn't that impressed. But now that I've been driving it around, it's AMAZING! The sound is just fantastic.

Excellent work. This should be a sticky becasue of the sheer amount of people who start new threads about it.

I see that no one answered your original question.

POP = Performance Optimized Products

JWT's "POP" chargers are 6" diameter venturis designed to maximize laminar air flow. They are made for GA16DE, KA24DE DUAL CAM, KA24E SINGLE CAM, L28ET, SR20DE, SR20DE W/ROLLER CAM, SR20DE(T) GTIR, SR20DET, VG30E, VE30DE, VG30ET, VG30DE, VG30DETT, VG33E, VG35DE, VG35DETT, VH41DE, VH45DE, VQ30DE, and VQ35DE. The 90-96 Z32 POP chargers are special though (plus some, like me, have two).
