This guy is full of pure bullshit. Runaway. That is not a POP (the guy is infringing on JWT's trademark). It will not perform as well as a POP or Stillen intake. I know Stillen uses a K&N and I think JWT does as well. But, they have a ventui the filter attaches to because the MAF does not like a turbulent airflow such as you'd get with this kit on eBay.

A CAI (the Stillen and JWT are not CAIs) will make even more power, but will cost around $200.

thanks for the info. what exactly is a pop, and what are the differences between one and a cai?

POP stands for Performance Optimized Program. It was an early mod from JWT going back a long way.

A JWT POP Charger (and the Stealin rip-off, er, copy) is a large venturi, or air horn, that attaches to the MAF and has a large K&N filter attached. The venturi makes a big difference because without it, the MAF can get erroneous air flow measurements due to turbulence.

A CAI is a long pipe with a filter attached that routes into the lower fender behind the bumper. It gains some hp from breathing cooler air, but most of the gains are from the long intake pipe.

I have one just like this that I replaced with a JWT POP Charger. It does work and has a nice sound but im MIAMI you can buy one for like 35 bucks .....

I think it is ok but I wanted the SE-R look....

I have one for sale if you want it ....
