Z Tube + Popcharger Or Alternate Cai

[Vthirty5]

Hey fellow V guys, just a quick one. I tried looking, but couldnt find a solution as it was pretty varied.

Who has a Z Tube and Popcharger/ alternate pod/ panel filter?

Who has any other type of CAI?

Obviously each will add an induction sound, but did anyone notice any actual gains? Or is it more for cleaner/ better flowing intake and sound?

Any opinions/stories/info would be great before myself, and hopefully anyone else decides which path to take.

Cheers,

Sam

Nismo US have their own version, I was running it before I went FI.

Replaces the whole intake tract up to the TB and the pod filter is tucked in behind the front bar "out of" the engine bay.

^ Which I will be running in my Stagea... just with a R2C conical filter instead of the cotton one that came with the intake.

I'm currently running just a short ram + pod filter.

Didn't really notice any real power gains.

g35driver would have a fair bit of information on there as well.

I have the JWT popcharger with Z-tube.

i did before and after dyno test 9rwkw gain.

Mine Apexi filter is low in the front bar, to get cool air. I do feel it climb the RPM faster (3500-6500), maybe not HP.

Sweet. Im more inclined toward the popcharger/z tube setup for $199 + $45 shipping I cant go that wrong can I?

I found a really good article on G35 Driver. Some guy went out and got 12 or so different intake systems and spent 6 or so hours dyno'ing to find the best results.

Here is the write up:

(I wasnt sure if I can link other sites info... so Im sorry if I cant, let me know and I can edit)

With the pop/z tube. Install seems very straight forward? Also, being in QLD I need a heat shield of sorts, so does anyone know if the one to be supplied will be good enough?
