Civic cxi hatch pod tips and help

[Gio]

Hey guys, can anyone out there help me with a pod filter installation. I have a 98 civic and have installed a pod filter into it and i was wondering if its safe to leave it the way i have installed it. Any feedback or other tips would be greatly appreciated.




I have installed it as is in the picture with the stock cold air pipe underneith the pod. All i done was take out the stock filter and clip the pod straight in.


Thanks, Chris.

I'd say your hampering performance with that setup over the stock one.
i had a DIY SRI with a pod on my DC4 teg for a while made buggerall power difference but i left it on because i liked the sound, I put the stock box back in for roadworthy when i sold it, took the car for a final trash and there was a noticeable power increase over the SRI with the pod.

Stick with the stock box and get a k/n panel for it, will give a bit better response or wait till you can get a proper CAI.

lol hope u dint sell to sum1 on ozhonda!!!

its better if u just invest in a proper cai or sri. Looks better n will perform better than what u have. + im pretty sure d bonnet touching it/ pushing it down would stop the pod from performing at its best

+ doing a full on camflouge ghetto style intake would be better, cops wont hassle u much if they cant see anythin.

How often do cops make you open your bonnet when they pull you over??

get rid of your air box but keep your air intake pipe and just pop your pod on the end of it
