After a bit of research on myg37.com (although a pain since my account won't work and I had to clear my cookies every few pages), I've decided on going with the JWT Popcharger. It may not be as nice looking but it sure seems like a better working system.
Heat soak is something I cannot afford to deal with in 105+ F weather in Dubai.

Oh and fyi, the Injen intake on EBay is already sold.
np, good choice on the jwt popcharger. jwt in my opinion really has the best reputation when it comes to nissan performance. not only because they have been around forever, but it seems like all enthusiasts live by Jim Wolf. I remember when I was first getting into the tuner scene in the late 90's, I wanted to buy and mod a Z32 300ZX and that community lived by JWT...even while I was lurking on nicoclub.com, all the 1st gen g35 coupe guys live by the jwt pop charger and z-tube...even now, the g37 guys are starting to praise the jwt pop charger...good choice

Then hurry up as you can get it for $289 plus shipping until Wednesday 7/23, go to Intake and Exhaust on myg37.com for more info.

JFYI, it dynoed 10 WHP and 5 TQ more in bboysteele car with just HFC on it.

that was peak, it had close to 13 at the rev limiter and and it appeared to have an honest 4 o to 6 throughout the rest of the range.

Yeah I remember all the coupe guys were praising the pop charger when I was planning on buying a 1st gen coupe a couple years ago.
Sadly the interior was too plain for me so I skipped out. Glad I bought the 2nd gen sedan though
I'll place an order once I come back to Dubai next month. Especially since a couple people have had slight installation difficulties cause of a bolt on the intake.
JWT should have that fixed by next month though.

I'm going to have to pay full price since I can't order that and then travel. I'd probably cancel my flight knowing I have an intake coming in. lol
Plus I want to make sure JWT resolves the minor fitment issue.

This thread has a couple people agreeing about the fitment issue. Like I said before, it's a minor issue but I'd prefer to just avoid it.

There is not fitment issue, (as you can see I'm one of the guys that have posted there) problem is that some people are trying to install the intake without trimming the Air Inlet as per instructions. You can do that, but it won't allow the intake to properly aligned to the inlet and will difficult the installation, AKA, fitment issue.

I tried installing without trimming (First one) and I had the same issue, for my second installation, I just trimmed as indicated (It's a small piece of plastic that won't be notice even if you need to go back to OEM) and the intake now aligns perfectly to the inlt and there is no issue with the bracket.

So, in a summary, if the instructions are followed, there should be no issues and it's simple 30 minutes installation.

Oh in that case I can't wait to order my pop charger. Sorry about the confusion.
Definitely will have to wait till I get back though cause I'm impatient to hear the sound difference (and possibly feel the power although minimal), which would probably seriously make me cancel my flight lol.

Thanks for the info erasat, I'm guessing the instructions will show exactly which trim needs to be cut...right?

^ Yes, it's a small piece of plastic in the Air inlet corners, altough it appears to just be needed for the passenger's side as the other side fits perfectly without trimming.

255 actually is a good fit also.
