Hey guys I got hook ups to get either an AEM CAI or a Pop Charger/ Z-tube combo for around the same price new. Which would you reccomend? I had AEM on my mazda and liked the sound and performance but it was suseptable to water and if i do it again id get a pre wrap for the filter.

I do daily drive the G and Im in Washington state. What do you reccomend?

 

screw the poop charger...get a stillen cab and a z-tube...that aluminum pos heat shield does nothing to protect the filter

 

I just converted my Ebay CAI to short ram and it sounds much better IMO. So i would suggest the Z-tube and stillen' . But I think AEM converts to short ram as well, or it might be the Injen, someone correct me if im wrong??

 

Stick to short ram with a good heat shield. In other words, Stillen.

.

 

from what i hear the CAI is almost unnoticeable and people who have their pop chargers love them

 

does the heat shield really make a difference? i would get a stillen but its 199 while the popcharger is 109 what is the difference is it the heat shield?

 

I have the jwt, but wish I had gotten the stillen instead. You save some money with the jwt, but the heat shield is pretty shotty. I'm trying to track down used head shield from the stillen to build a hybrid.
