loudest pod?

[pushead]

I don't have a pod but i want to know which pod is the loudest from people's experience. Is it the design or the actual material which makes that loud whoosh sound?

[Guest RedLineGTR]

From my experience the pods that make the most "induction noise" are foam based ones...HKS are the loudest imao Trust airinx (yellow mushroom) are behind it... i have also used (have for sale too) the K&N pod filters your get a noise thats not crazy loud but u still get that induction noise..probably reckon would be one of the quiet ones.

I wouldnt know which one is the loudest, but heres a comparison somebody did between different filters. Apexi was the best

I have a unifilter and it is pretty loud louder than hks

I have only used and stuck with the K&N pod. It was the first one i bought and had no need to change it.

On the last "skid pan day" people were asking me "what type of bov. do you have, it sounds made!?" I only have the factory plumbed back system, but you can actually here it work through the pod .

i got d hks pod ( yellow element ) pretti loud...

[druzilla32]

yer i got a K&N pod.. Change gears at high rpm and sounds exactly like a bov..

I was realy suprised at how loud the sucking noise was too

I have an O2 Rush race pod on mine and its pretty loud. When the car is coming towards you at full throttle, all you can hear is the induction noise over everything else.

[hippy]

whats in the pod that makes it loud?? i have a green hks one ... i think its quite loud lol ... and when u let go of the acc ... it sounds like a bov LOL

thanks for the feedback. just grabbed myself a K&N pod off RedLineGTR. Love that sound though

[Scotty]

Just for the record, I have a yellow Trust pod.....mushroom looking thing, and its probably one of the loudest pod I've ever heard!

Personal opinion of course

[njs]

I've got an apexi pod, the induction noise once you hit 4000rpm is awesome

I used to run a Trust Airinix (yellow) pod filter - it was very loud, but IMHO it was very crap at doing what it was supposed to be doing, namely filtering! Took it off to clean it, and holding it up to the light you could clearly see right through it.

Call me a pessimist, but if you can see through the filter then the chances are plenty of sh1t can get through and into your engine...

I've since ditched it, and replace the stock airbox. OK, it's a lot quieter, but there is no noticeable loss of power and I can rest assured my engine aint breathing in tons of dust and crap on a daily basis..

My 2 yens worth...

But, damn did that Trust pod sound good!

BLITZ sus filter wins hands down

[Cake]

shuto is right, those blitz metal sus ones are stoooopidly loud. my mate had one on his r33, and it was so loud, you could hear it sucking hard even just cruising without any load at 100km/h in 5th on the freeway.

hks & trust foam filters would be the 2nd loudest.

Personal opinion of course

i second that :headspin:

[HKSgtst]

the loudest in my opinion is the Greddy Grex one (Blue in colour)

boost,

my mine's (K & N) pod does that same irritating sound even when not in load.

[pushead]

just got the K&N pod installed, nice sound not too loud but seems ok.

Was wondering since all you guys have a pod, i want to feed in a cold air pipe down there but couldn't seem to find any holes to feed it. I have a stock Intercooler so that pipe running below the pod is in the way. If you have a cold air pipe, where abouts did you guys feed it?

I left the top bit of the stock box so at least can get some air.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

a good idea would be to use the stock air scoop to feed air to it may not help when at idle but when driving should be good with getter air in.

[pushead]

I have left the top bit or the stock air scoop but wanna put a 2-3 inch cold pipe in there somewhere. Maybe cut out some alaminum plates and shield it from the engine heat?
