KN Typhoon vs R2C vs Pop Charger - Pros and Cons

Typhoon - Never replace filters again, but pay a pretty penny. What's the sound?

R2C - The most technologically advanced. Coldest air and best filter. Worth the money?

Pop Charger - Cheaper, but average sounding and only 6-7 whp gains. Go the economical route?

Discuss!

My friend had JWT intakes, we used to be head to head everytime we raced, I sold him my Injen SRI's and now he's always 1 car length ahead. No other changes in either car.

IMO again: R2C all around heat shield, best performance dry air filters on the market, 7whp gain dyno on site and g37.com, easy install, easy to clean lifetime filters, keeps AFR in check, while with Gen 3 i would really recommend getting a tune to get your AFR fixed else it will run very lean.

^yes, best thing would be to get your car dynoed and ask them to get AFR ratios with it, then you and the tuner can see how lean/rich the car is running at various rpms and then you can get the car tuned appropriately to make more power and run your car safely without any damage/knocking etc. depending on the AFR.

You can buy uprev, cobb, hypertech etc and run their preinstalled map which match your mod list or better yet take it to a local tuner that supports the tuner, most tuners will be able to work with uprev and cobb for sure.

Why did you sell your friend your Injen SRI's?

cuz i'm not a premier member and half my mods won't even fit.

If I was to do it again, I'd get Stillen intakes. Just cuz they look cooler :P

But out of the SRI and CAI, CAI no doubt.
