Just get any pod filter they'll give you the loud induction sound that your after.

thats the thing...i dont no which one gives the biggest suction noise.

i was told #5 gives the biggest noise but for air filteration...apexi has the upper hand.

can anyone confirm this?

also can anyone tell me wat #6 is....its not a pod...its some sort of pipe...that does wat exactly? lol

they say that #1 is best for intake because of its swirl design. it allows maximum air to go in. if u think about it, it makes perfect sense. twisted air moves alot faster then straight.......................................i think lol

But on the other hand, #3 and #4 have a larger surface are, meaning that more air could be filtered at once, would that have an effect?

well there u have it boys.....i told u apexi wins....haha

it would seem that way but bahh.....doubtful...

although the filters were tested on filteration and hp gain.....i still wanna no which makes the best noise (i know i know they were made for air going in not sound comming out....still i just wanna no)

There you go anjoO darK found the link I was reffering to. You cant go past the apexi pod it would give you that loud sucking sound as well. Im sure alot of people here would have an apexi pod on thier line just ask them.

Isnt the last pic just an adaptor piping for the pod ? Correct me if im wrong....

welll thanks guys i think im defently going for the apexi pod.....but what about how ppl have 2 or 3 pods.....whats that all about (i guess for more air lol)....and how does one tell if one needs more then 1

how long do these things take to put in and get runnin......if all goes good ill get one tm haha

Twin Turbo = Twin Intake = Twin Pods

I think you'd need a full custom manifold to have twin pods on a single turbo or NA, you probably have to wire up another AFM too...

If you simply buy a filter for the induction noise, then there will be a much louder noise eventually - when the engine shits itself from all the dirt and crap it has inhaled.

Which one FILTERs best?

SK has recommended pipercross - some UK brand.

I found a pod of theirs for like $70.. Sounds good to me.

I emailed them asking what size I would need to fit a z32 AFM and they never got back from me. Lost my business on that count but I may email them again just to be sure.

i still wanna no which makes the best noise (i know i know they were made for air going in not sound comming out....still i just wanna no)

So all you are interested in is the sound, so why run a filter at all? That will be the loudest, make the most noise. Sure it will stuff up the turbo and the engine in pretty quick time, but you don’t care about that, you are only concerned with the sound.

The real answer is that there isn’t much difference in sound from an unshielded POD. They all make pretty much the same amount of noise. Of course an unshielded POD with no ambient air feed looses noticeable horsepower from the hot air ingested and gives worse fuel economy. But hey you don’t care about that, you are only concerned with the sound.

:P cheers :D

PS, I put this thread up there in my Top 20 worst ever questions

Twin Turbo = Twin Intake = Twin Pods

Wrong!! In a number of ways. Twin pods are popular but on my RB25DETT in the track car I ran single AFM and single pod, however the stock GTR setup is single airbox and is good enough for my 260rwkw/0-100 in 4.02s. Funnily enough the GTSt's share the same filter panel as GTRs. So the filter is not the problem. GTSt's can be a bit strangled in the induction piping so some lateral thought to help it breaths means

a. legal and only 1 induction mod allowed means a FMIC can be run,

b. less likely to be considered a wanker because of the rediculous noises you attempt to generate, and

c. almost free.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
