Unbelieveable 3a Racing Pod

[Kevs]

Guys i was looking into some pod yesterday, was thinking of which pod actually suit me better for my 33 until i saw an article about 3A racing pod. I believe you guys know its a cheap pod and probably can get it from supercheap or repco. amazingly the 3A racing pod do better than any pod that we are using today like apexi, hks, and more famous brands. below is a link to show you the magic of these pod! Its a short article but with fancy pictures so will not be boring, starting today change your pod filters to 3A racing pod lol.

Old old article.

I'll stick to apexi and K&N thx.

recent post somewhere in the performace sub forum.

Apexi, good filtering, reasonable flow.

HKS, ordinary filtering, good flow.

I think K&N was the winner. The 3A looks like it will be good for draining pasta

what a joke .

what is the piont of a FILTER . to FILTER particles out of the air that damage your engine . get something that filters properly and if you can prove on the dyno it is a restriction get a bigger filter untill it is not

having plenty of experience with filters on moto x bikes the general consesus is oiled cotton and oiled foam are on par with each other while clean but when dirty the k&n will outflow the foam ones due to more surface area

although rush goes some way towards fixing this with its contoued outer surface

Years ago Xspeed tested all the big name Filters on my Dyno, the $20 dollar specials were the highest power outputs and now afte all the years theres been no damage from poor filtration. Many of the mega Dollar stainless mesh big name jobs catch small animals and rocks and nothing else.

^ not surprising from a country that loves to run their mega dollar engines sans filters in the name of reducing flow losses by 5/8ths of f-all

Old news but good news. The 3a is the best choice. I have one, it replaced my old apexi pod.

[saweeet4DR]

I had a 3a on my old 180 for 5 years.They are just as good or if possible better then the big name brands like hks,apexi etc,id buy the same again when my current pod hits replacement stage.

[Black_CSR]

Gonna Buy me some 3A filters :-)

[Flash89]

dont know with you other guys that are running these filters, do yous have really loud induction noise and some flutter too. with my 180 i have this filter and sounds like the turbo is spooling up and its not even boosting, sounds cool tho.

Whats the point of a high flow filter if your engine cant process that much air.

I can never understand some peoples thinking it will make more power only if its the restriction on hp

[Hanaldo]

Yeh i personally don't believe it. I take these tests with as much seriousness as tests of flow on catalytic converters. It is very easy to over clock the flow rate and then quote the filter rate at the bench flow rate. Everybody looks at the flow rate and goes oh wow it MUST be good, but then don't stop to think that the quoted filterage could be taken at a lower flow rate.

I used to have a 3A filter on my car. Replaced it with an Apexi and i could definitely feel the improved response, plus i have to clean the Apexi filter more often than i did the 3A, which tells me it is picking up more of the dirt rather than letting it through.

thanks for the info. New for me. gonna get one for my 33

LOL looks like i am advertising for 3A... personally didnt belive such cheap pod can do better than any other brands but with my opinion, the price of the brand name is there for a reason, so lastly i had choose Apexi pod for my 33. for whatever reason it just seems like a scam to me lol no offense but just unbelieveabe. I would say i can give it a try but not on my 33 or may be my daily (In case to see how it goes) haha.

Im fitting 1 to my GTiR Racecar, Good power, good filtering and cheap enough to replace often. Ive seen the results 1st hand and can think of lots of other places the extra money could really help. The money saved is the difference between good DS3000 Brake pads and sensational RS14 Pagid for example.

If you've got a cold air duct...drive through a puddle, then tell us if its still awesome

The wagon nearly stalled out in a MASSIVE puddle just before, then popped and farted for a few mins under any load

whys everyone whinging about the filtration didnt it come 1st in flow and 2nd in filtration? (in the autosalon test)

[toddlls]

Got mine from Dr Drift, have never been given a bum steer from Sam so I trust what he says & it does perform rather well, alot less intake noise than the HKS piece of crap I had on there
