Pod FIlter

[JT]

Hi ALL,

I am looking to replace my K&N Panel filter. What do you reommend? I have seen the APexi pod filter for about $150 and some mesh metal pod filter. What pod filter should i go for?

Car Skyline 1995 GTS T

Thanks

k&n pod filter from your local autobarn / repco seems to work fine, just make sure you have a cold air parition with it too, or make your own

i went from an apexi pod to a noname highflow element in a stock box and i couldnt be happier. defect free, no noticeable seat of the pants difference in performance, is boxed off from the hot ambient under bonnet temperatures and has a built-in air duct.

im sure a pod with a proper partition and cold air duct would perform marginally better, but street cars aren't chasing 2 or 3kw's and if you havent got that you'd only be sucking in more hot air anyways.

i got a K&N POD from autobarn, also needed the alloy bracket..

cost me 179 bucks for POD and bracket - I had to drill new holes in it though as they didn't line up exactly...

The Mine's Response R34 GT-R uses the stock airbox with an upgraded panel filter. Although they may have changed the piping from the airbox, I think it still says something for the virtues of airboxes over the current pod-craze.

i'm running a apexi pod with a custom airbox/partition. did notice difference on circuit as performance panel filter left car slightly breathless vs the pod. tradeoff is day to day i guess, particularly in summer. i'll live with it

Do you have pics of your custom airbox and partition.

I brought an Apexi pod yesterday. Put on just for a test with no partition. Noticed it got more boost at around 5500, normally the boost is full at 5000 rpm and holds. But with the pod filter it kept on boosting a little more. I just want to partition and box it now
