Are POD filters still legal? Do they require their own airbox?

yeah there legal and the second one is a bit or a grey area. a air box and filter is also a flame arrestor so thats why its a grey area. its illegle not to run an air filter at all but

To whoever didnt know in NSW pods are illegal, its 2points and $105 fine or something, apparently you can get a enginers certificate for it tho. The law was MENT to be comming here, but I havent heard anything of the sort yet. Put it on, and just keep the stock airbox in the car, if the cop says thats illegal, you go, two secs I'll change it biggrin.gif . Simply as can be.

they do create many ungodly sounds from under the bonnet of a turbo engine, sucking, spooling then fluttering when combined with BOV realy shit alot of people when you let off past them on the side of the road at full noise. That said mines staying. its the WTF factor in my car- holy shit its a datsun! Still a bit of a shady line legaly i reckon (undue noise maybe)

I'm chopping another hole in my engine bay and sticking mine into the inner guard me thinks, seems like a top quality idea. Stupid lack of space.

Tell me about it.....I wanted to keep the stock airbox and a high flow panel filter in my 180 but I still have the factory intercooler (not for that much longer though smile.gif ). There is nowhere to run a descent diameter cold air pipe. So I just gutted the airbox (not as dodgie as it sounds :? ) and fully sealed the holes left by the resonaters. Then just fitted 3" tubing (some imported stuff with an inner spring coil and is meant to be restiant up to 250 degrees and it was only $16 per meter) to the airbox and ran it around the back of the box and past the power steering resivour and then it picks up just under the front bar (can't even see it from the outside). Works really well (might have to watch out for floods :oops: ....its only temp though until I get the fmic then I'll use some better pipe straight to the vent where the intercooler used to be.

Man I love my pod filter... unbelievable the difference it can make noise wise according to where it is mounted in the engine bay. Tried mine in a few different places. Now when car BOVs it resonates kinda through the POD. Sexual stuff I tell ya.

I've got a pod filter, seat's in side the inner guard. Waste of time putting one on if you don't put cold air to it.

How would u flow test it 2 c if its in the best position. I would be a bit weary of putting a pipe under or near the bottom front bar due to rocks, insects and the hot temperature.

Wouldnt u get rocks and dirt in the airbox if u put the filter (or pipe) near the wheels? Where would be the best place to mount it? In front, on top or behind the front wheel?

not saying that I didn't have the room, just that with the standard intercooler piping I didn't have the room to run it where I wanted to, still wasn't too hard to find a good place to run the pipe
