so heres what im thinking

the carbon fiber gtube from unlimited tuning and the popcharger...

you guys think thats a good set up.. i mean its technicaly the same thing as the ztube popcharger combo but with some nice carbon fiber instead.. .. i mean what is the best intake out there for our cars? I did a search but im getting mixed reviews.. if you got any input help a brother out.. i already ordered the plenum spacer and exhaust now i need an intake

 

I currently have Z tube pop charger and like the setup. But if I had to do it all over again I'd prob. go w/ the HKS suction kit...very reputable company and great performing products.

 

you'll always get mixed reviews when it comes to intake... the stock airbox is already designed very well so its hard to improve upon it... the addition of the Z-tube and K&N drop in will probably give you most of the benefits of the other intake systems out there for a cheap price... I wouldn't get the intake expecting any performance gains at all, only get it for looks or the sound... personally i have the z-tube and pop charger combo and i've been happy with it. People knock the pop charger because its not closed or shielded well enough so it can suck hot engine air... that may be true but it hasn't affect me at all...

 

Quick question, does the pop charger make that wistle sound that you get with most intakes,and what about the pop charger + z tube?

 

anyone have any pictures of both those intakes?

 

I have a JWT PopCharger and Z-tube and there is a distinct whistling sound thatcan be heard at certain time while throttling.

 

I've got a UT carbon G tube and a Stillen High Flow Air Box and I love the set up. If you don't mind paying a little bit more, I'd definitely go with the carbon g tube. It looks great and believe (although I can't back this up with any data) that it insulates the air in the tube better then the OEM Z tube, making sure the heat stays out and the air stays cool.

To be frank with you, you're going to get a lot of people saying one thing or the other in regard to intakes. In my own opinion, whether you've got popcharger, stillen air box, or drop in filter, they're all pretty damn close performance wise. Honestly go with what best suits your style and wallet.
