just installed z tube and popcharger, what a difference in sound after 3000rpm. she roars and the revs seem to climb quiker.
i'm just wondering if any one else gets a slight whistling at take off and part throttle tip in at around 1200rpm.
i can only hear it with my drivers window open. i checked all connections and they are tight.
thanks jason for quick shipping of a great product. i highly recommend this set up really wakened up the motor. with the slight whistle it sounds like forced induction.

 

yea the "whistle" is the pop charger sucking AIR into it! sounds nice!

 

I get a whistle with the 350z and stillen too! I love that sound...had the nieces and nephews over on Sat night and a couple of them thought I had snuck a turbo in without the wifey knowing...

Hmmm....?!?!

Most aftermarket intakes will do this. Pop Chargers seem to be a bit louder than CAI's at idle, but that may just be due to the filter placement? And they do both defintely "wake up" at higher RPMS.
It is a very cool sound... VERY addicting =)

Hi,
What the difference in performance between the PopCharger and Z tube and just K&N Filter and Z tube?

Thanks,
Xattica

 

Which one would u recomend/Prefer...The Pop Charger or the Stillen box?

 

POP-Charger. I wouldn't buy anything Stillen. I put my POP-Charger on tuesday, but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, just around the block.

Where is the best source to buy

1. Pop charger
2. Z-Tube

Are you guys noticing an improvement from the butt-dyno?

I ended up getting the popcharger and Z-Tube at Performance Nissan Parts. Thanks! Can't wait for them to get here.

 

I also ordered my Z-Tube and Pop-Charger over the holiday break. PerformanceNissanParts was definitely the place to go. Unfortunately the Pop-Charger manufacturer was closed down over the holiday and they were out of stock.

A very special thanks goes out to Jason at PerformanceNissanParts. Jason is super-friendly and very very knowledgable. I had accidently ordered the pop-charger and the K&N Filter. We were talking over IM at the time and he IMed me and told me that I didn't need it. Great guy and I highly recommend.

Will let you know how it sounds/feels after I get them in.

 

Yes, Jason is very helpful. I was mistakenly thinking I would need the 350z popcharger since I was putting in a z-tube as well and he told me the popcharger is the same for both G and Z and I needed the G heat shield to fit into my G engine bay even with a Z tube.

I only get the whistle sound when I'm first accelerating and once I get to a higher RPM and hold it steady there the whistle goes away. That whistling really surprised me when I first heard it.

If you're looking for the Z-tube check the FreshAlloy site. There's always a 350Z owner who's just installed a CAI and is looking to get rid of their's for cheap. I got mine for $65 shipped to my door.
