I vote POP Charger

Relatively inexpensive mod,Good quality, easy to install and great growl over 4K RPM's. Don't notice the 6.5 HP though

Injen is really nice... but.. it gets dirty quick. Pop charger is cool.. but still utilizes the stock Intake tube .. which I think is a peice o' poo poo.... personallly I'm currently running the K&N intake... I like it...... but I dont wanna stray from the thread....

as hungster said, there are TONS on posts on this. you should do a search.

personally i can only speak for the pop charger. price was right and sound was great. was the performance increase noticable? maybe. not sure. could be psychological.

here's a picture of it a few weeks after install (a little disty in there). you can also see that my heat shield doesn't have the JWT strip on it (not sure if it makes much of a difference...does it??).

I like the Stillen CAI setup. It has a velocity ring and air filer element similar to the Popcharger. However, IMO, it provides greater protection from underhood heatsoak and offers no more exposure to hydro-lock than the stock aircase.

I've run a series of tests on G35's which essentially verified the above. This setup should actually be better on the 350Z because of the better air supply design.

Sorry about the picture quality. It went away when reduced to size to be able to post it here.
