lol i have an ijen intake loved it from first day
if u stand over the intake and someone revs it
u get startled its so loud..
Cold air..long tube will give u better top end..
short ram.. short tube will give u better mid range power

if u buy the injen it comes with two pipes so drive short ram for a week
feel the difference then go to cold air and feel the difference
both sound the same..

they are like K&Ns where they are cleaned and reoiled.

one other thing I wanted to mention about the JWT Popcharger, one major difference the JWT has that the others don't... you can compare tube lengths to plastic to this and that but we all agree the stock intake is pretty good. However, there is one way you can increase flow and velocity, therefore adding power and it's by using a venturi to flow and speed up the incoming air charge.

using the venturi is much more favorable than a plain cut off piece of pipe. i have yet to see another mfg that has this venturi.

Sorry boys...intakes are usually short ram or standard. Long and short tube are exhaust header terms.
