I got one of those popchargers from JWT. The install wasn't hard. Just that it never came with a heatshield. Here's what I did with mine. I used the front part of the oem intake cutting off the bottom of it so it would fit in there and to help with air. How does it look? Am I getting enough cool air from outside with this setup? Is there anything different I can do to improve this chime in.

This will be way better, hehehe: FS: Engine - Remanufactured 03-08 FX45 Intake
Nice. Expensive though. I'm wondering where you got the front elbow from?

That's how I use mine and the air flow is fine. Keep in mind that the OEM setup is intended to get the air only from behind the grill through the scoop. And you're still getting all that. I'm curious what you had to cut off from the bottom though?
I don't use the Pop Charger setup during the summer season as it noticeably sucks up too much hot air off the engine. (la_fx35's Manta set-up is the better way to go.)

The little extra chamber on the bottom that connects to the resonator in the fender well. So do you just use the stock setup with a k&n drop in during summer?

Oh yeah, I kinda remember that little chamber. I left mine on.
Exactly.... Pop Charger in winter. K&N drop in during the summer.
