I had a jwt pop charger for a while it was great until I decided to take it off one day and noticed that my low end power is a LOT better without the cone, so I said the hell with it.

Now that I'm reading about these hybrid intake systems, I'm curious why is it that with the piping and the cone you don't lose the low end power like you did with just the cone. I'm very tempted to get something like this as long I don't take a hit off my low end power.

I truly don't know, but I did happen to have a pop-charger and noticed the loss in low-end, but as soon as the midpipe was installed my low end was recovered and also an my top-end power was somewhat increased. I have tested this at the track and noticed that I'm best with the pop/midpipe setup over anything else such as CAI or just the pop.

 

whats midpipe?? does it go in place of that big black box between the pipe cone and the intake manifold??

 

I got a question about a CAI, I dont want to waste bandwidth with a easy question like this. You know how to HAI is almost stock at low end and screams at WOT. Is a CAI like this? Or is it just loud throughout all RPM's?

 

Yes, it goes in place of the black box.

 

The CAI is loud but not as loud as a pop/midpipe setup in the same rpms. Just having a pop is the least loudest.

 

that block box acts like a silencer-- thatys why when u remove it its gets CRAZY LOUD!!! but only if u romp on the gas

 

when i put hybrid style on my intake it did feel an increase in low end tourque but that could have been because of my cleaning of the throtle body

 

Did cleaning your TB give you a MPG gain? How about throttle response?

 

it should give u a smoother idle... i dunno about the MPG..

 

When you buy a pop charger, you only get a cone? Where do you get a midpipe?

 

u can order one from Warpspeed performance.. or from Place Racing.. or from fankencar

thats if u already have a pop charger

 

Why is it called pop charger? Isen't just a cone filter? So now it's called cone charger
LOL

 

If I get the Frankencar intake will I notice loss in low-end like you just mentioned or will I gain power in the low-end and top-end.
This will help me make my final decision on get the Frankencar.
Thanks bro

 

***BUMP UP THE JAM****

 

u wont lsoe lowend-- u will retain most of it.. and gain mid-high end.. win win situation

 

so what you guys are saying is that if you already have a JWT pop-charger. all you have to do is buy a mid-pipe and it will work as good as buying the whole thing from Frankencar.com?

thanks

 

I think that the JWT and Stillen are the only POP style intakes that have a venturi, or velocity stack. That would help stabilize flow.

exactly.. u already have half of the hybrid already (the intake) now u just need the other half (the mid pipe) to complete the setup

 

or make one ureslf...

I gotta try this mod... doesn't seem tooooooo hard. btw real quick (w/o search) how much would it cost to buy the midpipe from somwewhere

 

Get the Franken midpipe. It comes with all the instructions and sounds great!

 

Midpipe from frankencar is $55. If you plan to do it, I heard someone had fitment issues with his JWT, but there is a write-up on it and can easily be found through search.

 

Just look for my write up on it. One is the installation, the other is the review. If you read through it, you'll have a breeze with installation since a lot of questions during the installation are posted and answered by myself.

 

look at the f/s forum for dohccivicna1250 he sells the mid pipe for about $48 polished. he is located in new york.

 

This is not hard to understand people. It's very simple, the hybrid intake gives you better throttle response and more power throughout the powerband.

 

I think we all understand that it DOES, we just acnnot figure ou tthe REASONS for it. At least, that is what I cannot figure out...

 

Does anyone have any pictures of a midpipe installed?

 

see how to make your own intake piping at this link.

which product(combination of products) yield the best results? Frankencar, place racing, jwt, warpseepd or stillen?

Doubt it would really matter. The difference between these intakes will be less than 1 hp.
