z-tube and pop charger at full throttle sounds very aggressive. I have had people ask me if my 2006 has an 8 cylinder in it. Do not hesitate,buy and install

All these posts claiming RWHP gains with any intake is just wishful thinking! Manufactures make similar claims to sell their intakes but in the real world it just doesn't show up on the dyno....where it counts! You can actually lose HP when you use the metal piping z-tube/pop charger due to heat soak. They're nice to look at but to what cost.... I've considered going to those really cool looking intakes but with NA we need to fight for every HP available so I'll stick with my Stillen CAI-Z Tube!

As Gary said ^^^ the gain is not really noticeable. I'm also using JWT w/ ztube, but still wondering everytime my engine bay get hot then my ztube also get hot. I even throw spacer to "relief" some of hot airflow goes to my engine.. THE ONLY Thing I can say noticeable is the roar sound when you floor it...

I did not notice any gains in speed or hp from this mod. The spacer and MREV2 was a different story

Live in the MD/DC/PA/VA area?
PM me to join the Capital G club!!!
I heard stillen intake was the only one that showed hp gains on a dyno. The others just gave you sound without hp.

An intake is an intake... they're all the same. But once you get rid of the heat shield and the air duct, you're getting heat soak... unless you have a CAI, in which case, you're usually trading low end for high end power. The biggest difference and the only one that'll really matter most is the filter element, and they're all technically the same too.

lol, no need to resort to name calling there bud. we just have different priorities, you care about sound and i care about protecting my engine. i do not have a gay pop charger cause i dont want dust and things in my engine. besides, the name makes it sound like a frickin toddlers toy or something. btw, i was only laughing because if someone mistakes the sound of 8 cylinders for 6, they should have their gift of hearing taken away for good.
imo of course...

my rev-up airbox makes a similar sound, whistling almost like a spool-up from boost, but not quite.
