JWT or Stillen?

Just got an Intake a couple of days ago from a friend of mine. Sold it to me for 60$. I know it cant be Stillen cause it would say it on the filter. Now I have a 98 max, and Im thinking its the JWT Intake cause the Filter is like a blue color, and the Top of it is all blue and it kinda like sinks in, in the middle. This Piece does wonders for my car. I can feel the power, and the Roar it makes puts a super smile on my face. I even like the little Whistle it brings, when the car shifts in gears. Does anyone know if this is a JWT intake?

Thanx!

If its blue, it doesnt sound like a JWT. The JWT pop charger is just a cone filter with a polished top and the filter itself is pink color.

The JWT POP Charger that Custom Maxima sells is blue. The filter is a K&N knockoff.

It's the new JWT Pop Charger. It's kind of a second Generation Pop Charger. It's indented in the middle to provide more surface area, and yep... It's blue...

ah i see it now..
does that extra area allow even more air flow?

i dont think it would be a better gain that the regular cone , am i wrong? there are other filters like this but i never knew if theyre actually better or not

There's more surface area, so in theory, more flow. They do come pre-oiled.

???? You'd have to run a dyno test to see for sure... I wouldn't think it would be much more noticable.
