A pop charger is just a cone intake that replaces the stock airbox. It opens up the airflow some and adds a few HP plus makes a distinctive roar. They cost anywhere from $40-200. For an auto youd be better off buying a CAI that would help add low end power. The pop charger will add more top end power. You can find them at any auto parts store or Stillen.com or JimWolfTechnology.com

And try searching next time, youll find more than you ever wanted to know

My 1995 SE has a cone intake in it already... what does that mean? Is that equivalent to a pop-charger? Does it come that way from the factory or did the previous owner swap the airbox out?

RE: Your Max with the intake

I think you're the lucky guy who's Maxima came with a good previous owner. He/she put an aftermarket intake in there and you are the beneficiary. You might want to clean / oil it just in case, but consider yourself lucky to have saved the $$

He was a 60 year old gvernment worker who only drove the car on leisure weekend trips. I doubt he knew much about aftermarket parts. Did the 95 SE 5-spd come with an airbox from the factory? This car was purchased in Seattle.

Nope he bought it brand new. He doesn't seem like a car fanatic. But oh well.

So is the pop charger JUST the cone filter that replaced the stock airbox or does it consist of anything else too?

Use the search function... It's usually very helpful. Also, look at the FAQ section.
