neither

get a cai, only a little more money. with a y-pipe and exhaust the cai provides better gains. the JWT and stillen popchargers are the same only difference i think is that teh stillen filter says stillen on it, and it come with a better support bracket.

ohh by the way

i have a JWT, and i have driven a max with the stillen as well as the CAI. Honestly now that i think about it i think they each give very similar performance working alone. i'm not out to try and race everything in sight so i care alot about look as well as the performance, amd most of the time i'll go for look. in my opinion, look wise the CAI is the way to go, it looks killer under the hood and teh sound is alot nicer (if you like that) but it also provides a power gain. is it better than the stillen? i think it has better power in the lower rpm's but loses out in the higher rpm's i try not to abuse my car by gunning it or roadkilling people so i hardly ever get to the higher rpm's. i wish i got the cai, especially now that my dealer started saying sh*t about the popcharger. if their gonna not honor the warranty on something might as well be for the CAI rather than the popcharger. i think the CAi suits us daily drivers better look and performance wise. install wise, the CAi is definitely harder to install becasue of the drilling you have to do. but i think anybody with patience can do it on an afternoon.

my 2cents
