Well look at that. The dyno chart shows that at 7250rpm, there was about 15whp increase.

Wow, and this is what I was waiting for to make my decision on the intakes. Glad I got impatient and got the Fujitas, these things are fugly. Not to mention they don't even replace the entire intake tubing AND are more expensive. FAIL.

man those are almost as expensive as the other intakes and way more than the fujitas, i think i will be sticking with AEM or Nismo.

i'm not too fond of the home depot looking setup either.

Hmm... They look like an open ended Stillen design. I wish we could buy the heat shields separately, they might fit with the fujitas!!!!

i'm confused..."the pop charger bumped up peak horsepower by 14.4 with 12-16 horsepower gains realized between 4500 and 5200 RPM. Had we baselined the Z33 with a fresh factory filter, we estimate that the peak gains would probably be around 6 HP."

soo...are they saying "our intakes will give you 12-16 HP" or "our intakes will give you 6 HP gains"..??

^they saying that the base line was done on dirty oem air filters, and that brand new, clean oem filter would have resulted in a higher baseline

and to everybody saying it looks ulgy, who cares, my hood is closed when i'm going down the track, don't know about urs. and everybody knew (or should have known) that the pop charger wasn't gonna replace the whole tube, just like the last one didn't. the only thing that matters is the results.

they look like they will perform good, but i'm still gonna wait for an unaffiliated dyno till i buy my set

but the price is a let down, i agree with everyone there. however, if it really did take them a year of r&d to produce real results, then they have to get back there investment some how. and if the performance is there, then they'll be getting my money

+1, price is a little steep but I'll be willing to pay for good results.

Saw another 07 yesterday with fujita and im gonna experiment.Im bored with my car as no other parts have come out for them. So Im gonna mix and match the fujitas with my stillen intake.Basically use the stillen heat sheild with them. yes Ill dyno.

These jwt tubes themselves are simliar to the stillen tubes except venturi ring. Those filters are look proprietary vs stillen using off the shelf K&Ns.

Wish all these companies would quit looking at the intake and look at the ecu instead.

you guys know that the $395 is just retail....and I think the design is really nice and actually has a purpose. My AEM has Noooo velocity stack. the JWT has a HUGE velocity stack
