What's the Advantage of Frankencar over Stillen Pop Charger??
 

SO tell me, neither are cold/warm air intakes. so whats the advantage of Frankencar (sP?) over the Stillen Pop Charger?? And why does it cost sooo much money for a steel pipe with a filter :mad: ...

And whats the deal with Frankencar and Busting MAF?? is it true?

You get a midpipe with Frankencar. That's really the only significant difference.

I believe price is the major factor...

The JWT uses a larger cone shaped K&N filter(at least used too) along with an aluminum velocity stack that gives a venturi effect to the incoming air.

Go with the JWT and add a frankencar midpipe.

My wife said yur car is looking good! :thumbsup:

:sprint:

.......

Alex that Midpipe looks like the one Place Racing has.. You sure Steve is not trying to play a dirty trick? getting Place Racing pipes and cutting the smaller tube and putting Frankencar Logo on it :wall:

JWT/Stillen claim 4hp- Franken/Injen/place racing claim ~10-14hp

I can see Injen and Place Racing b/c they are Warm air and COld Air intakes. Franken is a Extended Pop Charger :squint:

Anyone else use this?

I read somewhere from Kloogy where he said that the JWT filter was definitly louder than the K&N filter, but might have caused him to blown his MAF sensor since it is so much bigger allowing more air flow. I personally have the Frankencar w/ a K&N and have not blown my MAF. I love the intake and the price isn't that bad for the gain, look, and sound you get when you punch it. Isn't the Injen something like $250?

NOT the same as far as fit/finish...trust me, I have/had all of them.

I had a JWT POP, then traded to a Stillen POP. Then bought a Frankencar midpipe and last bought a Cattman CAI(PR actually). Currently, I'm running the stock airbox.:laugh: Anyways, one of these days I'll get off my lazy HICAS and install the CAI. I then plan to run the CAI during the summer and the POP with midpipe(whichever fits best: PR or FC) during the winter. Best of both IMO.

Definitely do NOT follow in my footsteps. :)

I have the Stillen Intake With the Frankencar midpipe. Sounds great and pulls good. Need to remove my scoop though for better performance.***

BEFORE ANYONE ASKS I HAVE A 2002 6speed

i had the stillen intake (bent the2k1 bracket to fit the 2k2 nothin to it.....dynod withh everything stocvk xcept intake....... added RT high flow and HKS rea section w/frankencar and the gains are as follows.....the hp gains were VERY notciable stillen gave me a peak hp 209.5 peak tq 222.3 (all stock except the intake) torque curve is rigid as hell and falls way down after 5k....... frankencar +hks rear section and RT high flow: peak hp = 230.8 (every pull hit 230.Xfwhp) peak tq = 234.0 (tq never less than 231.3 on all 3 pulls) after i got bored with the car once again it was time for a 2.5" b-pipe..... went to the dyno again peak hp = 228.5 peak tq = 236.5 didnt expect the addition of the b-pipe tp drop my peak hp but what do i know.... gain a few ft/lbs lost a few ponies.... the dynos were all done on the same machine (tween a period of 6 months)... Balanced Performance MotorSports in sugar hill, ga.

*i know this isnt a fair comparison* just thought u guys woud like to see how my car responded to various mods...... compare stillen stock to franken stock http://www.frankencar.com/intakes/projects/02max/ looks to me like frankencar has almost 4-5 ponies on stillen.... i imagine from the mid pipe replacement but for the money franken car is def worth it more power, less money. proof is right there!

will

hope u didnt pay full price for stillen and then got the mid pipe later.. i would imagine that setup being the same as the franken gains.

will

The advantage is the midpipe that adds a few more ponies and that's about it. The Frankencar is the best price/performance intake available for our cars. The Injen is the nicest looking.

Kinda Sorta :)

Well I had the stillen intakewhen I first got the car in 2000 Then I got the Frankencar about 2 months ago.

And of course it sounds better than all the others.

I know you use it goofus :slap:

I was looking for more unbiased responses :D

So which combo gives more hp.. a injen or frankencar+stillen pop charger???

Your not compairing apples to apples here.

You can't compair intake & exhaust vs just an intake setup.

Straight up. You can't tell me that pop charger/Frankencar makes the same amount of power as Injen or Place Racing.

I think A Nissan replacement filter and K&N Drop in filter make the same power too right :rolleyes:
