Stock Airbox Vs. Pod Filter

[anel]

i prefer the stock box with my K&N filter,

im getting cold intake from outside ,

where as the pod filter is mainly sucking the hot air inside the engine bay

+ with stock box im defect free

50 mins to put the stock Airbox back in?? LOL did you use your teeth? haha.

Iv just done the same thing, i switched back to Stock Dump/Front because the JJR piece of shit split was causing so much trouble. Now its running perfect.

At the same time i put my stock airbox and an Apexi panel filter in (had the Apexi Pod)

Overall im dam impressed. The sound is so much better, hear that turbo spool, and if your that way inclined, you can still hear induction and the BOV too. Think ill stick to the panel filter from now on. I like it.

Yep 50 mins (including the 30min i let her cool before starting any work). Been a nearly a week now and i am still impressed with the stock airbox.

x2. Love the sound too.

Just run 13.7'sET today. Reasonably happy with that, reeeally hot day and only VHT'd once in the morning

Wonder if there would have been any difference with the Pod..

id go Jap stuff, but thats just me. Pipercross doesnt have panel filters for Skylines

just clean your current one

Yes they do - I have one: PP1128-MX

sorry to dig up this thread again, but i have now got an apexi hi-flow pannel filter in the stock airbox, i was thinking wouldnt it be better to actually remove the top of the airbox ? has anyone done this if so how did it go?

as long as the filter is secured with some cable tie or something it should mean better air intake if im right??

That defeats the purpose as its sucking in all the hot air from the engine bay. You might as well use a pod.

yer i guess your right, its just that the snorkel is pretty small trying to find other alternatives without the pod filter
