Well, if you can't install these; you don't have the skill to plu in a toaster. The JWT directions for the pop and shield are ver straight forward. I would recommend tightening the 3 bolts that mount the MAF to the filter adapter That don't hold the bracket before putting it in the car. Then leave the hose clamp loose at the MAF so you can rotate the filter adapter to set the position before tightening the braket. The Z tube is extremely straight forward. It is just 1 bolt and 2 clamps to remove the old one. You will reuse 1 clamp and the bolt for the Z tube. I installed both today. It took about 45 minutes. A good portion of the time was spend putting the edge trim on the heat shield. Below 3500 rpms, it sould exactly the saem as stock. It gets very lound at raspy at 3500 rpms, but smoother as you rev. Sorry, I don;t trust butt-dynos; I only trust real ones. So I am going to dyno mine next week.

I got my Z-tube and JWT pop charger from performance nissan today and it took almost 2 hours to install myself as I had a hard time getting the edge trim to fit onto the heat shield and air scoop.
I only took it for a short drive around the neighbor hood but it definitely sounds louder at higher RPMs and it seems like the RPMs rev up faster. I'm looking forward to taking our on the freeway! [img]/w3timages/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: pop charger diy?
i just put it on and took it out for a drive.. i don't know if there is much of a gain, cause even if there is 6.5+ hp, you can't really feel it.. i think the sound itself is well worth it tho.. it has that distinct whistle sound and sounds awesome above 3500 rpms..
i do feel like it could shift *a little* faster, but not much.. i reallli tink it's all in my head tho..

Re: pop charger diy?
My Z-tube/JWT popcharger came today, but too late for me to install it. So tomorrow it is.
Anyone...do I hav e to "treat" the JWT in any way prior to installing it?

Re: pop charger diy?
Mine came today also. Filter element is treated. That's why it's blue. The element is cloth, and is white. Put mine on, took almost 2 hours. What a b**ch putting on those rubber edge trim things. Started it up and drove around the block. Only difference so far is I can hear the intake whistle when idleing.
