i have heard many different opinion on this, is there an significant difference if u change the stock air filter system to a pod? i know for a fact that it sounds soo much cooler with a pod (coz ive changed mine). ive also thot about modifying the standard system to induct cold air from outside and also changing the filter itself, alot of ppl say that ther is no real difference in a flat filter or a pod, i know my pod sucks in alot of hot air within the engine bay, also im planning to enclose the pod n run a cold air hose, but wouldnt that be the same as a stock box,

reason why im asking is that all my friends with pods have been defected within the last week, if ther is no real difference then i should change back to a stock system with cold air fed

any opinion will be great
