This topic has been covered many times before.

My opinion - go for a high flow panel filter like a K&N. Though you'll only be looking at minimal power gains. To maximise bang for buck, you could run another pipe from the front bumper up to the airbox for extra cold air (together with the stock airbox intake funnel).

I think pod filters are a waste of time with or without a heat shield.

Cheers

I used the search button and found this thread! I also am thinking of removing air pods and goin for stock airbox. But dunno if my GReddy intake piping will line up with a stock air box.

Maybe a custom made one is the go! ? Can't imagine all that hot air is doin the intercooler any favors....

I agree,

I think after reading many threads & different methods the best set up is a dry panel filter with a custom cold air intake

system at the front bar...

This thread was purely intended to get as many people's outlooks on Pods Vs Panel set ups, so please throw in your 2c.

If you go pod you have to build a heat shield, otherwise it will only sap power and promote detonation. They do make it sound better apparently though. The verdict, thread after thread, tends to be go with a decent panel filter, and cold air intake if you're hardcore :D

When i bought my 33 gtst it came with an uncovered pod. I was made aware of them soaking up heat so i made a shitty shield in an attempt to stop it, but dont think it helped much. I have never really cared either way, but after going in my other mates gtst with standard air box, the pod does give my car a much cooler induction sound. I honestly dont think there is too much in it if both are set up well, but there is a sound difference.

    • 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.
