Do You Have To Use Pod With Fmic?

[aquariuz6]

Curious to findout what other people have said in here.

I have finally installed my fmic but I have realised that the stock air box wont fit anymore.

I was told to just buy a pod and make a CAI.

The thing is that I prefer the stock airbox with the k&n filter in it.

Is there anyway at all to modify the stock box to make it fit?

is your problem the stock box doesnt fit or the stock snorkel doesnt?

you can make up your own snorkel if you wish. mine snorkel doesnt fit but the box does fine.

Sorry... need to rephrase that.

Yes the stock box fits but the snorkel doesn't.

What did you use to make a snorkel?

Have any pictures?

I had the same problem but i went for the pod filter, this is how i got around it

With the pod filter u will also get a cool induction noise.

Im thinkin about getting a better heat shield rather than the cover thats over the pod, but im no rush as its working great now

Used to have a FMIC + stock airbox/snorkel setup... got too boring after a while and upgraded to a Pod.

Did a little DIY on the snorkel mod; have a look:

NB: Plan was to get the snorkel plastic welded; but that never eventuated. But the end result was a snorkel that did wrap around the FMIC pipe perfectly I was happy~
