Fri, 01 April 2005 02:45 Actually guys, the way a pod filter works is that it changes the way air enters the intake manifold. With a panel filter, air is sucked in with no form at all. The pod filter, because of its cone shape, makes the air swirl like a vortex. The induction noise you hear is where the pod filter is actually amplifying a sound made when the last 8 valves begin to work (at least on a T-VIS system), so it acts as a loud speaker. It really does nothing to increase your power, but it does improve throttle response markedly, whats more it sounds really cool! On my ST162 (now sold) I had a custom airbox made up with a heat resistant material seperating the pod from the heat from the RADIATOR. Yes, the radiator hurts air induction more than the engine, because much of the air passes through the radiator and heads backwards, same with the engine, but the engine is BEHIND the pod filter. I also left the pipe that feeds air from behind the LH headlight to the airbox. Don't bother going to supercheap and getting that ribbed pipe and making a "cold air system" It doesn't work. Hope this helps. [Updated on: Fri, 01 April 2005 02:49] [Report message to a moderator]
