Anyway Of Covering Pod Filter To Make It Look Stock?

[boostn0199]

Im wanting to instal a fmic and still want to keep my pod, is there anyway i can use a stock airbox cover or some other cover in order to make it look stock?

put the pod in the airbox. cut a hole in the bottom of airbox and have a pipe (preferably black) from pod, through hole to compressor.

so u mean having a pipe under it for air? what if you just leave a hole with no pipe?

[RB ONEVIA]

keep the airbox in place and the piping that feeds it. get rid of the piping from the airbox to the compressor. cut a hole in the bottom of the airbox. put the pod in the airbox. a black pipe from the pod down through the hole in the bottom of the airbox to the compressor.

if you have no pipe then there will be no air going through the pod and your compressor will be ingesting unfiltered air...

^^ not sure what you're talking about. if he has a pod in place, the air wont be unfiltered. but yes. you will benefit from a cold air feed. and you certainly dont have to mess with the compressor side of things.

have a look through the tutorials section. theres a few threads in there about cold air intakes / boxes

here's one of them

Simply put - No chance.

Cops and EPA aren't stupid, they know what the factory airbox looks like, you'll never get something made that looks like it for a reasonable amount of money. You'll get pinned everytime for the 1x intake mod rule

ahhh k, i just havent seen the stock air boxes thats why im not sure with the pipe and stuff leading out of it. u noe how much it would be to buy a 2nd hand air box

[Kujotk]

yeah but he'll get done for the airbox or the front mount either way.....

best bet is put orginal air box,,,, just jap stealth front mount and paint it all black

there in the trader zone.....

[boostn0199]

pod with no pipe pod will fall out hole. pipe needs pod on one end inside standard airbox and the other end attached to the compressor inlet. the pod will be concealed inside the airbox.

any pictures of anyone whos done this with theere pod in stock air box and how it looks?

question remains...

Why keep the pod at all if your going to put it inside a chopped airbox?

If its for sound, forget that, and it'll be boxed up so it wont sound the same

If for performance, forget that, a good airbox with decent panel filter will beat a pod without proper CAI everyday

would it possible to keep the pod attached to the afm and sumhow get box to sit over it without acatly having to have the box connected to the afm

Cold Airbox Assembly.

Or just upgrade your panel filter to a high flow one

[R31Nismoid]

have you looked in your engine bay?

you got buckleys unless you relocate the filter to near where the stock I/C was in the front bar

^^LOL! In your books Ash.

For you, Stock air box all the way.

What do you guys think if I get that stealth just jap cooler paint it blak and put blak mesh in the front bar in the opening. I rekon that would be prety hard to see especialy at night and also considering the cooler uses the stock pipes. I dont want to lose my pod cause to me its not a turbo unless i dont have that sucking noise and flutter. what u guys think?

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^ That could work, just hide it as much as posible I guess.
