K&N Pod Filter

I bought a Pod Filter and am planning on getting an exhaust shop to make up a 3inch air intake, the pod filter will be open(not in air box) could i expect even the slightest power increase, or just sound nice
Cheers

Maybe you should check out my new line of pod filters? Just the thing for when you NEED to be noticed!
I believe I've revolutionised the lampshade filter industry - don't you?
(p.s. don't take offence, just I've got too much time on my hands and I'm having a light hearted dig)

the increase in power you can expect will be relative to how restrictive the stock intake is.
You can also expect a defect if you get cought with one that isnt boxed

The idear is to have as cold air as possible! Why remove the factory airbox? Because the air filter looks cool! No performance value in looking cool. I reckon that any benefiet you get from the added quality of a good air filter will be lost by not putting it into an airbox. Spend $10 on tubing of sorts and improve the air flow to your airbox would be best. I have assumed that this is an NA engine.
Cheers,
Ty

i baught myself a BMC panel, the same company that makes f1 air filters. they flow better then the KnN and last 30000kms, then u clean it and put it back in.
im not sure if there was a noticable difference cos when i put the silver 20v in, the filter was fucked, so i just got one of these.
pods are shit, unless of course u like sucking hot air into your engine ALL the time....

a dirty cotton gauze filter will flow and filter like a clean paper one.
i fyou get a K&N or any other 'wet' cotton filter, try to clean it as little as possible -- youll 1, filter in dust if you keep cleaning it and 2, destroy the cotton real quick, the fibers just collapse from water.
give it a quick spray with the proper oil on the clean side every now and the, shake off any big chunks of mud and dirt, and thats all you really need to do.

It is not advisable and it is also illegal to use oil filled air filter types in NSW. They are not good for AFM and holden has released a statement that any HFV6 using a oil filled air filter will not have certain parts replaced under warranty as it fucks them.

I have a pod on my 3sge in a ta23 at the moment and I am looking at going back to a panel in an airbox due to the intake being on the hot side of the engine. I think this will be a better set up, even though my intake temps are reading around ambient when it is cold, eg last night they were around 16-20 in melbourne so thats not too bad, but I have seen over 50 when idling.

thats exactly what i was thinking.
but i have heard that exess oil on the filter may coat the AFM and cause it to malfunction, im not worried about it though.

On a second note to a K&N / Holden story which i once stopped some pictures or , was the fitment of K&N filters being fitted into the commordores with the cold air intake running passed over the radiator { yeap that plastic above the radiator is going to be really cold}. There was as a shit fight with some people in the country area'a or NSW , there engines where worn out to buggery in thousands of ks . Holden blaimed the fitment of the aftermarket filter and from the pictures the throttle bodys where filled with dirt , people chased K&N for the replacement of the engines . And last i heard K&N where blaming the poor design of the air system stating that not filter would have survived the conditions not even the factory ones . I never got to find out what the outcome was . Urethane filters are far superior in those conditions , or a oil/air filter .
