Heres the before:

I started driving the g and i was like Amazing! can't wait to get the midpipe.

For anyone that still hasn't gotten this combo I suggest you do it you'll love everything about it.
Where did you get that medal piece in your last picture that bults down your popcharger? I need to get one for mines to pass an inspection?

just an FYI - You can attach the z-tube directly to the throttle body - you don't need the extra flex tube.

Throw in a Motordyne Plenum spacer and things will get even better

^ Thanks I'll have to do a search on ebay to see if I can find the piece or I'll just buy another popcharger that comes with it.

Is that the a/c line that needs to be protected? I was thinking about adding the spacer but it's not in my budget right now. I'm trying to save up for an exhaust.

what you can do is cut a rubber tubing and slice it in the middle to attach it on the ac line...also ziptie the line for added clearance.

Do all filters use the venturi concept that the JWTpopcharger and stillen uses or is the venturi concept a new thing to air intakes?
