Default Just Ordered A Pop - Intake tubing???

Hi guys, just ordered a JWT Pop Charger and just wanted to know if there are any good tubes to order that go with it? I want to make it look better but it has to perform at least as good as the stock piping and be easy to fit. I have read some people have bought ones off ebay and they are too small and don[ end up using them. I would like to avoid this if possible. Please let me know if there is something out there or I will just put the Pop on the end of what's there. Thanks.

This site has a few Z tubes that are black chrome and polished: http://www.g35parts.com/9083/osc/index.php?cPath=21



Not sure how they perform though, as I'm still using the stock tube. They look nice though.

or... you could go the cool route and be unique with one of these babies



It's got bling and it flexes to allow more air. Plus, I saw it on a really cool Ebay Z!

I just stayed with the stock tube. That flex tube sure is sweet though.

These are free. Just pull them off of the back of your clothes dryer

which is why i want to purchase the mishimoto! Because, by the time you purchase both the JWT and CF intake tube and pay 2 lots of shipping to Australia it works out roughly the same price!

I was buying the Mishimoto intake but it is too unknown still. The Pop is tried and tested. It has the best sound and is cheap. I have only got one guy on the board that has recommended it and gone from the Pop to the Mishimoto. I wanted one but decided to play it safe. Order it and let me know how it goes! If you get yours before mine goes on and you love it I may follow suit

I am going to put my spacer on at the same time. Be quick

Pop Charger and 5/16" MD Spacer were my first mods too.

Make sure you get an inch/lb torque wrench though. It helps prevent you from stripping the bolts.

A shop is putting it on for me. I hope the instructions in it are good as I haven't opened the box yet!

It's really not that hard. I installed those two parts as my first mod to any car, ever.

It is a little intimidating when you first dig in, but after that initial shock it seems very easy. (Hope they aren't charging you too much for the install)
