Hey all,

Want as many opinions as possible,

pod filter's Vs panel filter's???

I'm putting this out there to see what set up people prefer,

Thanks.

Maybe you should search and look at this thread:

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

use the search

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

i run a pod filter but i all so use a custom air box

with a cold air induction.... i prefer a pod filter

just finished doing a CAI on mine. decided to stick with stock airbox and going to upgrade the panel filter. Major reason i didnt go for pod was for defecting pruposes.

I like the pods

sucking sound is sexy

pod + cai > panel > pod

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.
