Never been keen on K&N.
are theese all better than the standard injen one that comes with the cai ?
do a search on google for something along the lines of "pod filter comparison dyno" cos i'm pretty sure they've actually dynod different pods on the same car.
also, i'm pretty sure there will be no noticeable difference with whatever pod you choose as far as power goes.....it's what i hear, and i certainly didn't notice a difference switching from a 50 dollar setup to a 250 dollar setup.
^^ exactly the main thing they found was the actual fitering of the crap was the big thingQuote:

Autosalon tested a lot of pod filters in 2007 to see which of them provided the best flow and filtration in a somewhat level playing field.
See the results HERE.
3A Racing came out a clear winner, ranking 1st for flow rate and 2nd for filtration. And they're very cheap compared to other brands. I called 3A Racing Australia and they quoted me $26 for one pod filter, delivered to my door, or $13 a pod filter at trade price if bought on behalf of a company.
Not worth paying big bucks for the other stuff. 3A Racing ftw.
Dont these designs get refined each year/model?
^^^ Yep, newer makes/manufacturers and models. Those tests above are old.
Do you have something more recent but just as comprehensive?
Personally I just think 3A Racing is the way to go, because they sure knew what they were doing 2-3 years ago and I'd be surprised if everybody else has overtaken them in the industry.
Hey mate I am using the 3a racing one it flows better then my old K&N.Quote:

Personally I don't think using a different pod will make that much of a difference anyway. An engine breathes x amount of air and I think most pods would suffice.
I just recommend 3A Racing because they did very well in that old test, so I think they must have a fair idea of what they're doing, and their products are super cheap by comparison. Good value for money.
thanks a lot guyss
heard the blox velocity stack is real good ?
Very good. This is what I have at present. Prol one of the best filters out there atm. Very well thought out design.

How does that thing work? No filter?
Its 2 peice. Filter mounts on velocity stack. See my first post in this thread. :thumbsup:
I see...but what's the function of the black tubey thing?
I did a quick google search but only really got a vague answer...
Thanks!
Black tubey thing? Thats the silicon joiner, Velocity stack - intake pipe. It blue on my setup.
