^Try searching the forum specifically and not outside of it. There is alot of info on these topics/products already on the boards.

I have a Z tube and pop charger and I have had my car in for warranty work plenty of times. The dealer never said anything about it.

Ordered mine (z tube and JWT pop charger) from everythingg35.com, should get here tomorrow. Im installing it myself, doesnt look too hard, will let you know.
Stock filter assembely is easy to remove, just had to do it to chage out my parking lights to LEDs

The shiny tube is the z-tube. It replaces a tube that has a bunch of sound baffles and is not as direct. The term "z-tube" just means.. "intake tube from a 350z". They are actually black plastic on the Z, i just bought a metal one.

The Pop charger is a cone filter (the redish thing attached to the z-tube). I bought the JWT pop charger which has the filter, the heat shield (goldish thing) and some mounting hardware.

What does it do? Not much! It might give you a little more induction noise (sound of air sucking) and the filter might give you slightly better breathing. I like that the filter is reusable, i can clean it and re oil it and use it again.

I think it looks neat.. but realistically it doesnt do a whole lot for performance. Maybe.. MAYBE lets the engine rev a bit faster.. if any
