Default K&N Aircharger Kit or FIPK?

The only kit I saw for a long time was the FIPK kit available for order at Auto Zone, Advance Auto. But ZZ Performance has an aircharger kit that appears to be a little bit different. Which one do you guys think is better?

I bought the FIPK, and it was the best 240 bucks I spent. Though I don't think yours is the SC, it still sounds great, and you definitely notice a difference in acceleration. You can check out my write up here:

and at the bottom, a link to the sound clips of my car after the K&N. If you listen, you can hear the engine roar, and the supercharger whining like a vacuum cleaner. Definitely fun, esp in the summer when you drive with the windows down, and the kids down the street can hear you coming.

Different cone on the end for a filter, and different design. I only talk about my FIPK because I have one. I am sure the aircharger is just as good. And I have heard that a wizair is great for intakes. But if you plan on running an intercooler on your supercharger, that is, if you have one, it really wont matter if you keep it insulated like the wizair, because it will all be cool running into the engine anyways.

hope that helps.

I've seen the Aircharger advertised months ago and it looked like it was a little different. I wasn't sure it would fit our app, so I focused on the FIPK.

The FIPK sounds awesome. But then, you know my bias.
