Panel Filter Vs POD Filter

[jdmh22a]

Hey all,

Panel or POD and why? im thinking of getting it set up soon and i don't know which one to choose, for POD i love the induction sound but the hot air issue is a put off...and Panel will it suck in as much air as the POD? and are there ways i can counteract these problems? Inputs and links will be great

Cheers :thumbsup:

CAI or SR methods... best of both worlds in one :)

well, if put a pod filter, i would put a plastic flexible hose running thru the front bumper up to the pod for sum cold air. and try a heat shield or sumthink...my pod filter seems to lag abit bottom end, till bout 3k rpm... i love the sound but hehe esp. on VTEC engines :P
but i had both a K&N Panel, and POD filter and i like the pod better :P
hope i was of sum help :)

thank VTi bOi ..do you have the hose running from the front? what if it rains? will water get into there?

[VTi_b0i]

lolz narr i havent got that far yet... but now u mention it im scared haha but like itll go from the bottom of the bumper up to the pod so i dont think water would get up there...

[jdmh22a]

hrm..im thinking when driving the wind force would be pretty strong...you know when you driving behind cars on a rainy day and they spray at you from their tyres..with that and the force water may get up there..im not sure but i will hate for that to happen..

lolz yehh u make a good point :P but wat bout the stock stuff? cause i duno bout urs but my car has all this black stuff there that could do the same but i duno :P well aslong as you put a heat shield around the pod, its should be ok...

Yeah i would go with he POD man, you may however need to conceal it in box or something depending where you lie, in ACT its legal im pretty sure.

Panel filter you wont gain much it will feel stock while with a pod its more responsive and sounds cool hehe. I doubt that even the hot air sucked in by the pod will make it worse off than panel.....the only downside is when you are stopped at lights or something on a hot day you will loose some bottom end but once you are moving its fine.

[filoaccord]

if u want top end go with the pod filter
