New pod = good sound but less power??

Here's my cold air box with the lid on and off, cost me $180 or so I think? Very nice black and shiny fibreglass, took about half an hour to fit.

If you want to look at some different angles, click these:

Front left

Front right

From above, minus lid

I did a big post-up a month or 2 ago, do a search in this forum for cold air box or something. I don't think any of the pics will still work because I've done a reshuffle of my webspace since then and I cbf'd fixing them

Hi Whatsisname the compressor outlet pipe is on the outside of the box but the return one of the cooler goes through the box.You do make a good point that pipe would get very hot i didnt think about that while i was fitting the box

ive wrapped the sections of cooler pipes near the pod with thermal wrap. keeps them cool and doesnt make the box fitting a bitch!

As long as comp' O/L pipe heat is prevented from effecting the boxed area you're laughin'

Erm, the box only goes on the engine side. There is nothing between that partition and the edge of the engine bay.

Yepp, that's it.

Other filters might fit, but like said before, the height might be an issue, and the HKS pods have a little piece of rubber between the AFM and the pod. What I've done is make the partition come down that rubber piece on an angle (you can see that in the pic.

Pending the size of your pod, and the way you run the partition down between the AFM and pod, it should fit a few other pods - not just the HKS one.
