Well i Currently have a stock air box with a blitz hi-flow panel.
Pulling on the throttle cable with bonnet up and hand on the scoop you can feel it sucking alot of air, so much that i think it would be borderline starving itself. So I've got a blitz pod on the way but I will be putting it in some sort of enclosure with a cold air feed.
In my opinion pod in enigne bay without some sort of surround and a cold air feed = epic fail/ hot air induction *heaps cool, thumbs down haha. end rant.
