Crappy Performace After Apexi Pod Install

[NYTSKY]

I installed a apexi pod last nigh and i noticed a drop in torque slow spool and a general flatness in performance.Why so? My guess is that its sucking hot air. I have a Unique alloy CAI but when i tried to fit it,it seemed like i needed a FMIC cause the holes in it didnt line up.

ye itd be the heat that killig the power, getr a partitioning and a cai asap.

i didnt notice much or any difference in power after i shielded my pod compared to before it was shielded.. I wouldnt imagine that it would cause that large a difference.

Reset your computer, see if that helps.

Put the airbox back in

if that fixes it up, you know its the problem

otherwise you might have bumped the AFM connection or something

also check all you vac hoses i had the same problem crappy performance etc and one of my lines were split but it seems like a bit of a coincidence that it happnd after the pod filter install dude

Did you run a cold air feed to it?

Here we go....

I put the stock airbox in with a panel KnN.Performance returned.

Hmmmm i thought a pod would provide more performance?

[R31Nismoid]

No.

Hot air is powers worst enemy mate

Airbox is the way to go anyhow IMO.

Unless you do some good CAI, there isnt any point... A stock airbox with a good panel filter is pretty good.

GTR airboxes + 350rwkw is no issue

Besides that, I doubt the ability of the apexi pods, as they are substantially smaller than the comparative K&N items and are still an oil-based filter. I think they would more suit an sr, ca etc.

[Lunatic Dancer]

actually....the apexi is the best out there..and no it isn't oil based...

there is a test made by some supra guy iirc based on most pods out there

and the apexi came out on top...cleanest and gave the most power...

if you are getting less performance then you are definitely sucking in hot air..
