Franken Intake vs. JWT Popcharger

does anybody have some factual information comparing the two intakes?
Preferrably a dyno chart.

I'm considering switching over to the Franken Intake due to it's positive response from other .org members but would like some cold hard facts before doing so....

Its basically the same thing. Except the FC includes a middle section.

The thing about the middle pipe is that it replaces the resonator box which muffles a bit of the sound from the intake. So, any intake (Frankencar or PR) which replaces that will increase sound. It is not a function of the design of the intake, per se, but the removal of the resonator box.

Yup I did it. Sounds louder and more resonant. I swear there's a slight power increase in the upper RPM but It might just be my ears responding to the extra noise. There's not a volume difference down low but over 4000 and it's very different. Throttle response seems slightly better but all this is based on Butt dyno only and my Butt needs tuning.
