A POP Charger is a air filter and and venturi that bolt the MAF and is made specifically by JWT. Stealin blatently ripped off JWT's design.

It uses a large K&N filter for increased air flow. The venturi is a large aluminum air horn. The purpose of the venturi is to smooth the air flow into the MAF since the MAF doesn't like turbulent air flow which can screw up your fuel/air mixture.

A cold air intake is a set of pipes and a K&N air filter. The pipes go between the TB and the MAF and between the MAF and the filter. The pipe between the MAF and the filter routes into the fender well (you have to cut a hole to accomodate this).

The CAI makes more power, mostly through the effects of the longer pipe, and only a little through the cold air itself.
