I installed my pop charger on Friday, and have been driving around trying it out. My initial impressions are as follows:
Install is easy. Very easy. Could put back to stock in about 30 minutes. Install took about 45 minutes. I left the center "scoop" in place give more cool air when moving.
It sounds nice. Up to about 2k RPMs, it sounds almost stock, but after that the sound increases quite a bit. Above about 4500 RPMs it's really loud. If you like the quietness of the Murano, don't buy this. If you would like a more aggressive sound, go for it.
Water is not a problem. Was out in a thunderstorm yesterday, following people on the highway and whatnot, no problems at all with water. The filter actually sits farther back than I had originally though.
Power seems smoother (if you can believe that), but there does seem to be more of it. Throttle response seems improved. If you goose the gas, you can really feel it. If you floor it, it doesn't feel any faster, but I keep getting surprised when I look down at the speedometer.
And when travelling about 50mph or more, this is even more true. Very nice for passing.
I'll post pics soon.
