Mon, 04 April 2005 16:11 in all honestly unless a pod is, as some of you said, placed in a properly sealed airbox away from as much heat as possible with cold induction it is not going to give you any noticable gains. other than noise and police attention that is. id say they are bought because of their relative ease to install on aftermarket induction setups etc. i mean honestly who thinks that in a few hours they can better about 20 japanese scientists working for a year 5 days a week with the use of high tech computers, wind tunnels, and other fancy gizmo's like temp sensors, flow sensors etc. they would also be taking into account where air comes through the front of the car and how much heat is picked up from the surrounding hot metal surfaces etc. the end result, im pretty sure most people use them because of a false belief that they have benefits. theres also a market for such products and therefore they are sold because people buy them. if they are bought then the people who buy them are also the people who think they are smarter than qualified car scientist type people from japan. this is the case im sure you would be a benefit to all of us by gaining employment at toyota and furthuring the car industry into the future. see if toyota has any job openings. its really a vicious cycle, im sure most of us toyota enthusiasts dont like our rides being ogled by police who are defect happy as i sure dont. pods have no benefits(if done poorly), you buy them and install them, a market opens up, the epa and rta investigates these new "fads", find: they are noisy-and also not an improvement on factory, therefore makes them defectable, police gain a perception that everyone has pod filters now and pulls majority of modified car owners over and hassles them, innocent people are annoyed. is it really worth it? ill sum it up by what i think. if it were the better option to have pods ie creating more power through less fuel (efficiency) then im sure they would come standard on cars. hold on they dont. just a thought...
