JWT popcharger VS Frankencar

I'm going to get a y pipe soon, so I'd like to compliment it with an intake. I was going to go for Frankencar, but I have the chance to get a JWT pretty cheaply. Worth it?

Lushka16,
I've had both of these intakes installed in my max. first just the jwt pop, which wasn't too great. it felt really weak off the line. then the hybrid, jwt+midpipe, which was considerably better. I'm using a cai now, and it feels the best in terms of response so far. i'd say if you have a good deal for the jwt, get that and a midpipe to go with it.

Yes get the JWT and a franken car midpipe. CAI are great but most have shown the same performance as a hyrbid intake and CAI's usually cost $50+ more.

I have the JWT with the midpipe. Works great, no complaints.

Ditto. Try to get the JWT used. Got mine for $55 shipped. You just have to keep a look out.

Is the a'pexi dry filter with the frankencar midpipe not as strong as the JWT with the frankencar midpipe?

yes, but the dry filter doesn't need to be cleaned and has the best filtering, if you want to see what the apexi set up looks like with the newer midpipe(just has a bend in it apposed to no bend), check out the frankencar site here
