New owner question about the intakes for G35

[hitman G35]

I have had my G35 for 4 days and I am curious about some intakes ive been researching.

My main question is.... what is the most popular, best one to get. Ive heard good things about the popcharger from JW.

Secondly, is it even worth dumping $200+ for it. What are the benefits besides a slight increase of power and that cool swooshing noise?

BTW: I just traded in a 475hp Wrx for this baby and I am not looking to go crazy by modding and adding forced induction. The G is my daily driver and I need to get the best mpg possible and im curious if anyone has gotten gains from adding the intakes??

Thanks all

if your staying with an N/A your not really going to gain HP by putting in the pop charger... Intake mods dont really add that much HP as the intake is pretty well designed... Its mainly to make the car sound better... Id just stick with the Z tube with stock airbox..

EDIT: best intake mods IMO would be the Z tube and plenum spacers.

Much appreciated!

I know its been asked, but I didnt see a general conclusion. Is there any potential risk to the engine internals with the JWT Pop Charger?

Was planning on some combination of the JWT, Z Tube, and Plenum Spacer myself.
