what is a pop charger exactly, what does it do, and will it improve my performance at all? thanks

 

well yea pop chargers kick ***. your car will sound sweet once you get one. man I love mine. and yes you will notice a power increase. about 100 bucks for one. order it, really easy to install too.

 

Its basically just a cone filter that replaces your stock filter on your intake. The pop charger has a little better air flow over stock but a cold air intake (CAI) is your best bet. A little more expensive but a lot better if your worried about performance.

92GXE, touring wing, 18” racing wheels, Port&Polished intake, custom intake, custom yellow interior, racing seats, back seats taken out and replaced with subs and amps, NOS kit, Suspension tech. Lowering springs, custom grille, soon to be custom painted and have the whole engine rebuilt for big shot NOS and custom SC and tranny converted to 5-speed.

 

sound like a good low priced mod then. how much does a decent CAI system run? are they that much better? is the pop charger almost the same as replacing your air filter(difficultywise)

 

I believe that a CAI runs around $220. I'm not to sure though. I always thought that it was a lot of money for something that I could make myself. They do make a bigger difference than a pop charger. The pop charger should come with a filter and an adapter plate. You just mount the adapter plate behind the mass air sensor and put your cone filter on. You need to offcourse remove the stock air box. This style looks a little better than the others but adds the least performance.

I installed my own custome CAI for around $40. Not including the K&N filter though!

 

I wish someone would post some directions on how to make homemade cai

 

Sorry, I would but haven't for several reasons! First, I don't have a web page. I am BROKE and can't take pictures. Finally, I don't think many people liked the way I did mine, which involves moving the mass air sensor, which really isn't hard if you can just sauder! Cost me around $40, I had the filter. The most expensive peice I had to buy was the rubber connector peice from Home Depot, $7+!
