I am considering the following intakes:

1) NISMO R-Tune - $274.00
2) Injen Race Division - $216.00
3) K&N Typhoon - $252.00

Anyone found any better prices NEW?

 

I have heard the JWT intake is VERY good. And the cheapest as well. I have heard the stock intake is just as good as the ones you just mentioned. Of course this doesn't answer your question, but just giving you some info.

 

JWT Pop Charger owns the others, proven gains, cheaper, no chance of water lock up

 

K&N baby! As long as you thermal wrap the steel box and preferably the tube.

 

JWT Popcharger...bar none.

 

You left out JWT pop charger and the stock set up. If I were you I would spenf the $$ on someting else.

 

im gonna have to say stock is the best.

 

Guess you haven't heard the JWT Pop-charger.

I just installed mine, one word, WOW!

No question the best intake out there!

 

JWT Pop Charger...... for a little over $100 it's the best deal right now and it sounds awesome!!!!!!!!!!

 

Only thing I wish they had were different color filters. Looks well in a DB Z.

 

The color of the filter can chang by the oil you use on it, so if you want it red clean it with a K&N filter kit and it will be red

 

Love my POP CHARGER. $120.00 from performance nissan.

 

Jim Wolf Technology all the way.

 

JWT Popcharger, you won't reget it.

 

I installed my popcharger about 1,000 miles ago. How often does it need to be cleaned and re-oiled?

The popcharger is unreal...i was cruising along at about 40 MPH today and these kids were beside me in a Jeep Wrangler telling me to punch it. At first i was like "nah" and shook my head, but they kept egging me on so i down shifted into second, nailed it, broke the rear tires loose easily and the popcharger just roared...it made me grin so big. I slowed down and the kids came back up beside me and think they all wet their pants...they were in aw...and i was too kinda!! The popcharger will not disappoint!!

 

I am also going to have to say, Popcharger, just installed mine took less then 30mins and it sounds and performs great.

 

I'm almost convinced on the popcharger. Whats involved with installing the popcharger ?
I really like the Gruppe-M but IMO its too expensive for unsure gains.

 

The install on the popcharger is cake. Ive never done anything to a car before except change the oil and brake pads/shoes so im definitely no mechanic. It took me about an hour or so. Its the best mod for $$ bar none and its better than the others. A friend of mine has the Injen and after riding in and hearing my car, he's about to switch to the popcharger.

 

I agree! I have had three different intakes on my car. The Injen, Nismo and JWT Pop charger. My favorite was Injen, but with all the rain we had here in Atlanta this summer, I was constantly having to drive through puddles that were over 12 inches deep, one time a street by my house flodded and I could not get home. Nismo intake (AEM) is ok, I like it because you don't have to worry as much about sucking up water, but it does not have the ram air affect like the Injen, the air filter sits in front of the drivers side wheel well as opposed to infront of the radiator. While the Nismo does not get the same ram air affect as the injen, the filter does stay cleaner because it is not directly exposed to the elements. The JWT intake just does not do well with my car (erratic idle and stalling problems every once in a while). I think that the JWT makes the most power off the basic pricipal that it has the bigger air filter, and it is easier for the engine to suck air in compared to the CAI intakes because I think that there is some resistance when the air has to travel through a longer tube? But who knows, I am no expert? I have the stock intake back on and my car runs great.

At this point I have headers, crawford cats & plenum and injen exhaust, and the stock arir box works best for me with this setp.
