Sorry bud there's no such thing. You want a noticeable difference, go with a supercharger or turbo and get ready to spend $10K. You bought a G so now it's time to pay to play, hope your wallet's fat.

^+1, and if you have a 6MT (which you still haven't said yet, very relevant info) an MREV2 and 5/16" spacer will get you some noticeable gains. You don't really have to worry about a tune until you replace the exhaust, especially the cats,

Of course, this really could have been learned from taking the time to read the posts returned in a search. I definitely don't believe you did enough research.

If you want sound then go with the pop charger with ztube. I think it actually adds a little on the top end, not really all that useable but still good sound without performance decrease. .

Don't wanna jack the thread but while were on topic of intakes....
is it REALLY worth switching from a Nismo Cold Air Intake to a Ztube w. JWT pop charger for minimal HP gains ...
i know you lose some HP with a Cold Air Intake but how much would i gain from switching the JWT pop charger and Ztube... is it even worth the time and money
or should i just stick to the CAI i already have and call it a day
