Pod filter vs Intake kit

[ekvtec]

Close.

[hasto2770]

as far as i know its about the intake position
a cold air intake's intake point is low as opposed to a short rams higher intake point

[Mixtapes]

intake arm + filter would have more cold air running through. you should get a panel filter

[ekvtec]

i mean just a pod filter using the standard intake arm opposed to a aftermarket intake arm + filter.

not much man its still sucking up hot air there wont b any noticible power imo get a k&n panel filter or better yet get a cai

TECHNICALLY the bigger smoother pipe will flow better. for ek/ej the pipe is pretty small compared to most aftermarket intake arms around.

however most of the losses in the intake system come from the changes in size and bends in the intake system. which includes the resonators it goes through, the airbox, and that u-shaped pipe. yes you can remove all this restriction...and you will feel it, but it wont be much at all. esp since your still sucking in hot air.

if you decide to go for an aftermarket intake arm for your ej, check out this thread: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42865

Thats true. What i did for my prelude is remove the resonator first of all. With the stock panel, it felt a tiny bit better. But when i put a K&n panel in, the sound changed dramatically and is similar to a pod filter. There is a slight improvement in power and response.

yea ive done reso removal and kn panel aswell

cant tell any responsive difference from when i had pod and intake arm, probably slighty less loud, but heaps better on the petrol

^^i thought suckin in hot air u get better fuel economy? so wouldnt a pod suckin in hot air have better fuel economy but you lose power..obviously. can someone tell me whether this is wrong or not?
