POD Filter - R33 Stock

[gatty]

hey guys,

I am thinking about putting a POD on my R33 NA, I seen a K & N one at autobarn the otherday that I might pick up. I want to improve airflow and hopefully HP a bit, what you guys suggest POD wise? I heard K & N have good airflow and trap a fair bit of shit....give me your opinions on them..

You have two options:

1. With your Stock box get a K&N high flow panel filter (many companys make them too)

2. Remove your stockairbox and install a pod filter, but with that u should make a Cold air partition (CAI) to stop the enigine heat getting to the pod and not making any preformance gain just sucking up the air.

K&N filters are good and are very easy to clean thats why alot of people choose them.

Check the Search Button there have been alot of threads about the samething and they have been overed in depth so they are quite a good read. My 2 Cents, Cheers Rob

got a k & N POD from autobarn - 169

i have ordered a CAI box on here for 150

seems to be going fine

hey mate,

I personally would go against a pod, as if a pig feels like defecting you they have grounds for it. I just grabbed just a new k&n panel filter for $95, didn't see any real performance increase but fuel consumption did drop a little. That's just my 2 cents

if it's in a CAI box the stupid buggers wont even know whats there

[MirKz]

they cant defect u if its secured down etc

[gatty]

i thought any oil filter is defectable?

[urbanoperations]

yea they are defectable the oil based element ones, but i believe the APExi one is the best by far,

[gatty]

what do you mean it comes with a bracket so it can't be defected?

I brought a alloy bracket from autobahn - had to drill some different holes but does the job!

yeah dude i had a pig give me a yellow licky for my k&n pod have to buy a permit for it for $28. Its ok cos the permit only says "modification" it's not specicific so i can use it to bs about other stuff to stupid young cops

the apexi pod comes with a piece of metal that you bolt from the car frame to the pod.

If its secured down i dont think thay can do anything.
