Air Filter

[fooey]

With the stock airbox you'll gain a bit more low down torque (easier around town) due to the restriction of the system.

If you put in a shielded CAI (impt or your performance will probably be worse) pod, true you may gain some top end but at the expensive of low down... and I spend more time in the legal speeds than not

How do you gain low down torque by having more restriction in the intake?

just buy an aftermarket panel filter its gonna work better than having a pod without proper heat shielding

i have a blitz works sweet

Okay, I should have been more clearer with my english

you don't gain low down torque, but what I meant was the implied gaining of said torque that is lost when a airpod is used (due to the freer restriction on intake - not taking into account changes in intake temperatures)

haha that paragraph is even more confusing.. basically you lose torque going to a pod... putting on a airbox you 'gain' that lost torque...

IE airbox: more responsive, more low down torque but less flow/power at high revs

airpod: less responsive, less low down torque but higher flow/power at high revs

whether you want that power/torque down low or up high...

(assuming that intake temperatures remain the same with airbox vs pod which in practice will not be the case)

i think a good pod(k and N, blitz) in a airtight, heat proof box with a feed pipe is the best option but i think no matter how good it is ull only gain about 6-7kw at wheels if ur lucky, ive heard of people gaining 10-15kw at wheel wif this setup but i dunno if its possible..would luv to find out though

true dat.....id rather go for a apexi hi flow pannel filter in a modified box than a pod.
