I dont know which is better between those two but I have an even better option BUT only if you are in Socal (for custom install). PM me if you are in Socal.

 

Theres not an r2c but you get the idea.

what are you looking for in an intake? best "performance"? sound? bling bling looks? it all depends on your goals

 

R2C hands down. Protects against heatsoak better and provides better airflow.

 

performance really and guess sound

 

also looking at the maxxflow by r2c

 

Performance then look at the link above/the sticky in the intake forum. Sound, many like the jwt popcharger.

 

I have the R2C and really like it. It seals against the hood to keep some of the heat out and their filters are some of the best in the industry. They also make filters for a lot of the military vehicles that are subjected to a lot of abuse.

Buy just the front part of the intake it will cost you about the same as the pop charger, pair it up with a z tube, and you're good to go. I had a pop charger as well and sold it after 3 months, the power loss was dramatic and I don't have that issue with the R2C. Plus it looks really good in the engine bay.

 

can someone explain why people paid so much for the jwt and why its so popular?

 

It's the sheep mentality. N00bs come to Driver, hear everyone talk about how good the pop is, and buy it for the sound and looks. I should know, I was a victim of this when I bought my car, but it only took me 3 months to yank it out and sell it due to the power loss of heat soak.

 

^lol interesting tho people are still raving about. i guess old jimmy won this one lol

 

I see a problem with the RC2.

If the shield seals to the underside of the hood, where does it draw air from?

 

The JWT was being used by more than a few reputable tuners and they do use a quality filter. But yes, the heat soak sucks.

My preference is the Stillen. Draws from two sources vs just one.

 

^the front bottom area where the airbox used to be? when u remove the box theres a big empty space that leads down to the front bumper like for cais
