hi guys,

i want to buy a pod filter for my series 2 r33. what do you guys recommend and do i need any special attachments for the afm, or does the pod just go straight on in most cases? i've seen an apexi one which looks the goods, is there anything else which is good for under $160

ive got that exact one. looks a lil small but does the job well. not to mention sounds nice :( . it should come withe mounting bracket and all the bits to attach it to the AFM. but remember, buy a box for it asap to avoid getting defected. theres guys on the forum making realy nice metal ones if ya seach in the NSW forum

You get what you pay for and the Apexi one is worth it. I have it and I am very happy with it. I recall reading a test where they compared most of the big name jap pods. Apexi was the best for filtration, which for me made the decision easy. I don't want dust going into my engine. At a minimum get a partition to shield it from hot air. A cold air box with a cold air feed to it is preferable. Routing some cold air to my pod with ducting made a noticeable difference to performance, on a hot day.

I just brought an apexi dual channel air pod filter on Saturday from Autobarn. Used the same air-flow meter that was already connected to my K&N Air Filter & box. Took me about 30-40mins to do after trying to undo the screws that were done up tightly from my mechanic who did work on it a few days ago.

It gives some more performance and it sounds a hell of alot better.

I got the turbosmart BOV and if you get the revs up high enough but not enough to let the bov go off fully, you'll hear the fluttering noise through the airpod!

The Apexi filter has the most rank and annoying sound I have ever heard, I have one and I hate it, light throttle up hill and it sounds like a tornado is coming, it is rediculous! If performance was your only criteria I would be getting this, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...67&hl=unifilter, I know I will be :P

How ever if making sick sounds and making every one think you have 1000hp cause of the crazy sounds is high on your list it is hard to go past the Apexi dual funnel pod
