Hmm 06 stock intake better than Stillen intake for 04 Z?

I went by the top 100 questions guide.

In a few more months, you're gonna wanna dump the popcharger in the trash.
I felt the same way as you in the beginning, just because it was louder, and it sounded faster, but its basically all in the mind. Im so happy I got rid of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if you made another thread in the spring saying how much you hated it and wanted to throw it off a cliff or the side of the freeway. lol.

 

It was fairly nice and warm today in New York, 65-degrees. No performance issues, granted that isn't a scorcher. And also, my popcharger isn't very loud at all. It sounds pretty much like stock for the most part, up until you pass 4500RPM.

I really can't complain about heat soak either, as I've driven the car extensively and haven't felt much of a difference after the engine bay has heated up. And I should also point you to a quote I made in the first page:

So we shall see.

 

Damn I missed this thread before I purchased a popcharger. But my car isnt a daily so I should be ok. Yeah it gets hot here in TX but I should be ok. Do you guys think adding a air duct will help with cooling?

 

Im guessing no one knows?

 

Yes, the stock 06 is just about as good as it can get. The JWT popcharger is similar in design, from what I've read - in that it also has a venturi ring and velocity stack.

 

Not too many Z's using the Stillen intake. With all the intake threads Ive been reading for the past year and a half, the stock 06 wins hands down.

 

I'll let ya know come summer time if i notice a difference.

 

I have the Wolf filter but the shield was bent up in a front end collision I had. Pointed this out to Sam at GTM when he was tuning my car and he also said it actually hurts performance over the stock air box. I have a 04 so would a salvage yard be a good place to get a 06 air box? Bet it would be expensive at the dealers.
