Changing the air filter alone is just like changing your muffler alone. Apart from the filter, you have to mod the throttle body, the intake manifold and also tune the air fuel ratio. Not even talking about the exhaust system (header, mid pipe and muffler) yet..

FYI: If u use open pod w/o a proper heat shield, I promise u that your Hp/Nm will be worst off i.e. air filter is e only mod you do. Yes, e engine needs more air to upz e Hp/Nm but it is about more cool air and not more hot air where the resultant Hp/Nm will be lower over OEM.
Please be informed that your daily driving on SG road is generally stop-move-stop-move, heat will build up in e engine bay, we are not talking about tracking but daily driven practicality. Therefore what the open pod is sucking in, is primarily hot air w/o proper shielding and/or 'ducts/piping' to channel air from exterior.
Advise: Don't just mod mod bcoz mod is shiok, u got to know what is what, when is when, what compliant what, etc etc.
Cheerzzzzzz all

Re: POD air filters VS Stock airbox: Dyno run
Anyway Steet Performance Open pod setup are known as CAI. Generally all CAI are fine since the Open Pod filters are housed within a 'box' which is heat resistant or low conductor of heat (e.g. CF, reflective material, etc) while there's piping leading to an opening to allow external air to be channelled to e air filter.
But then again, for daily driven rides w/o heavy rev-ing like u do in e track, it does not serve u well... remember e Stop-Move-Stop-Move thing? Worst is city driving. For pure tracking and drag races, yes it helps a little unless you r doing massive mods then e air filter needs to be improved.

Are you talking about Street Open Pod setup OR Open Pod setup by Stett Performance?mlmooy;796288 said:
