5th Gen INtake Question

[sferalude]

hey guys
ive recently put some intake piping on my 5th gen
but have an old shitty little Simota Pod on there

im looking to get a good quality Pod
probably K and N

how much am i looking at and where can i buy

has anyone got a K&N on their 5th gen and is really happy with it ?

any help would be greatly appreciated!

get apexi from one of traders as you cant beat that filter in perfomance and filtering its the best , shits all over others

[dundas]

yes, apexi filters are excellent for performance and filtration. If you do not have $170 to spend on an air filter.. then the K&N filter is also an excellent choice..
having said that.. there are many types of KN pod filters. search for the one that will fit your engine bay well... something nice and big

i have a k&n one in my car
loving it LOL but sayin that

i wonna giev the apexi one a go just for comparassion reasons i suppose

the k&n one gets dirty so easily
i cleaned it out like less den 5000km ago and it needs cleaning again
-__________- it takes effort to clean LMAO

other than that im quite happy

if u got SRI then box it off... maybe thats why its gettin dirty easily bao :P

make a heat shield for it..

[dundas]

I have created a heatshield for mine. i wonder if it will keep things cleaner...
havig said that i do have a cold air feed from the front bar keeping the pod cool while im driving... i guess that would increase the dust build up ah wells... ill just clean it a day prior to a dyno day

[sferalude]

yeah i think ill have to make a heat shield

but yea the simota is filthy

[Tarks]

how long has the pod been in the car for? Maybe just needs a good clean.
If your determined to get a new pod, k&n or apexi will be fine. Also, if you back out of your plan on makin a heat shield, id suggest getting a paper filter, that way u wont get defected for having an open pod.

i got a k&n in my car, i love it, performance and sound wise. yeh u need to make a heat shield, otherwise it locks away potential. for the 5th gens, making a heat shield is very easy.

i have a very similar setup to dundas.

lets see... ive had my pod for about 4k? and it hasn't shown a spec of dust yet.

[sferalude]

where did u get it

do you have a model number on the pod

does it fit nice in the engine bay?

[Luding]

i got mine from repco, mine is much bigger in size compared to the other 1s.

this is my 1

[dundas]

yup das fairly simialr to my set up, just recently put a heat shield to mine though.. and DAMNZ that pod IS HUGEEE
i want one LOL
