there have been a few good threads on this lately. I hate to say this, but the search function is the best option. I have a post up now asking about where to get hybrid intake parts.

By the way, what does your Stillen Pop-charger set-up consist of?

Well most people arent comforable cutting a 3 inch hole in their fender.. so now that we have a good option w/ the hybrid more people are going with it..

hybrid is basically the CAI upper tubing and a pop charger..

because of the upper tubing you will get MOST of your low end back.. and the intake will growl more it sounds awesome..

Pros for Hybrid - No hole..loud..cheaper.. the power of Cai w/ mid-high end getting better
Cons- its still sucking in hot air

Pros for Cai- Sucks in cold air-- tubing looks pretty cool-- now low end loss
Cons- You have to cut a 3 inch hole.. and it takes longer to install then a hybrid and pop charger....loss of mid-high end

the only reason i never got a CAI was that i didnt want to cut a hole..
