Default Is pop charger worth it, and which to get?

I hope that by now there should be some reliable data on pop chargers. Are they really help or just mods for the sake of the mods as some people suggest.

I hate spending money on a mod that not really changing things. On the other hand if there is reliable data that it imporves things a bit, than it's well worth $200 or so.

I remember that 2 years ago there were no consensus at all and everybody had different opinion. So I desided to wait and buy when things settle and we got a prooven leader. So which one should I buy?

Or just less restrictive filter for stock intake will do?

Thanks

I feel like I did not gain power, but the RPM band seems to jump quicker. I thought the popcharger was worth $100 in sound alone, but my butt dyno says that I didn't really gain anything other than sound.

Same here. Louder and more aggressive from 3K on but loss of power in the low end. That's expected from an intake but I got the popcharger for the sound. If you read a lot on the board, you'll know that very little performance can be gained from NA mods. IMO, modding a Z is to make the Z yours (different from all others). If performance is the only thing, no intake will really do it.

I have seen many great reports of the POP Charger on the Z. It's a great mod with great sound at a great price.

You can grab one at CZP
