The only reason I would prefer a Mine's scoop with only the stock airbox is because I wouldn't want a bunch of dirt in my engine bay. Otherwise, I think I they are all probably very similar. I just wish there was CONLUSIVE and WIDESPREAD evidence that a CAI helps increase power. I really want to get one because it exists but if power decreases, stays the same, or is only a few HP, then I can't justify it.
Im with ya potato head. looking for xmas gifts, and CAI at 200$ would be at the top of the list. but I cant justify MAYBE 1 or 2 hp if Im lucky. need more conclusive evidence; for every one dyno that shows gains another identical car loses.

One that is hooked up to a SC or Turbo!!
does anyone have independent dynos for these intakes yet?
i have tried searching and i have yet to find anything besides "butt" dynos.
mainly interested in injen and nismo cai, gruppe m, and typhoon intakes....thanks, out

I just ordered my JWT popcharger from Performance Nissan. I currently have an AEM CAI on mine but decided to switch it out. One reason is because I never though about how often it rains and floods here in New Orleans and dont want to suck up any water. I have also just heard so many better things about the popcharger.
If anyone is interested in purchasing the AEM CAI from me let me know. Its only about 2 or 3 months old.

so the popcharger shows great gains...but what about when the temps inside the engine bay get hot, thats my concern...
i think the k&n would be a better design, and their dyno numbers are good but has anyone else dynoed this intake besides the manufacturer?
the gruppe m looks like a good design also, but too much money and no numbers out...no way i pay that much without some proof of performance
the cai's don't seem to be that great but this is a proven design that works....just not on a z
this topic still seems to be inconclusive if you ask me....out

My popcharger came with a heat shield wich also came with rubber trim that needed to be installed on the heat shield. With the hood closed, the heat shield with rubber trim seals the filter off pretty well from the rest of the engine bay. The heat shield also helps guide the cold air from the front of the car staight to the front of the filter. The popcharger rocks and sounds incredible.
