It just makes a lame sucking noise, its not cool you will be over it in 15minutes. Just get a good quality K N panel filter it will give you more of a gain, the pod will most likely loose you power cause it will be sitting there sucking hit air, unless you make a box around it but hey then you could just buy a panel filter and stick it in...............wait

Winner, Tis what ive got "shown below"  Mine sits down in the guard where it will have positive effects because its not positioned near the hot engine bay. Works well, and doesnt really get as dirty as you'd think it would. |

Pod filters are such a wank. A decent K&N panel filter does a better job. |

The puddle will need to be fucking huge to submerge it. Note that my car isnt dumped to the shit because I do like driveablilty. Ive driven in heavy as fuck rain for over an hour. I checked the pod when i got home because I was concerned that it would have got wet. Jacked it up, it wasnt even slightly damp. The pod itself was nice and cold and the piping directly off the pod was nice and cold aswell. The splash guard has slots from factory so water doesnt pool there either. And if I ever feel that my engine is going to get water logged I can just take the bottom half off and run it has a sri since its a 2piece intake. |

Depends upon the rest of the intake setup. Water won't go straight through the filter without hindrance, and an engine won't create enough of a vacuum to suck water straight up a 2-3inch pipe. Hell if the filter gets wet you might even get a basic water injection effect. |

Having a pod filter in a air box set up with a cold air feed would be better than a panel filter in the stock air box, will it not? |

I don't think you'll really find that much difference between a pod filter in the airbox, and standard panel filter within the airbox. The filter material would be the same, and the surface area would be comparable. |

Whats the point in having a pod filter near the road exactly? You may as well have it in your engine bay. You do know the road is hot. You do know, its sucking air up closest to the road, which, could be HOT AIR. |

I have a panel filter on my SR20DE in the s15, and where the factory intercooler piping runs in the turbo models i have intake piping from the front bar running directly into the airbox. Forced air into airbox with a top fuel panel filter = win. |

An exposed pod filter is going to do next to nothing, if not cause a lack of power from sucking in hot air. So it will need to be shielded to provide any benefit. |

Most of the boards I belong encourage user to do a search and go from there rather than have to carry 100 threads on the same topic. And whats with the abuse? I've read the topic and in my experience people are being EXTREMELY close minded so I've added my 2cents. What are you guys, snippy little forum police or something  No you're just a faggot and your 2 cents isn't wanted. This forum encourages users to search for answers to their questions, not search for old as questions that have already been answered, to answer again. |
