pod filters?

[tysonVL]

I know they're only like $20 at repco and all of those type stores, but:
are they better?
is it easy to change from the stock air box?
is it worth the $20?

thanks.

not worth it i dunt think, better of jst saving and getting a cold air intake.. that 'll be abit better but not a whole lot better
all that $20 pod filter will do iz mak noise, you can buy a $50-$60 dollar one if u dunt want to put a cold air intake but yeh their the same shit.

Don't bother. Better off spending $20 more and getting a high flow panel filter.

agreed, K&N Panel Filter, Pod will only suck warm air from your engine bay,

Plus you don't have to worry about over enthusiastic.

[tysonVL]

any ideas about where I can get a K&N panel filter then?
how much will it cost?
somebody explain why it's so good? I have no idea what it is...

[tysonVL]

Figured out that there's K&N panel filters from Supercheap for $110,
but there's about 100 different types!
does anybody know the serial number type thing for the filter? eg: one of them is KN33-2015?
Just so I can add this to the 'to-do list'

basically one that fits a VL,VN,VR,VS,VP etc all the same,,
just ask the noob behind the desk, to find it in the computer.
i have had one for about 8 years now, clean it (K&N Recharge Kit) every so often and re-oil it, Crazy what crap comes out of it and looks like new afterwards(Pink again)
Its a quality filter man gaurenteed 1,000,000 Kms.
Its not a disposible Paper one what has poor airflow through the material, the material is a highflow superfine weave that catches everything, i got mine for $80 on ebay
Goodluck

Cotton flows less air then paper. It's just because cotton can be re-cleaned is the reason it's so popular. In all honesty just go a Drift brand filter. Cheaper then K&N and you will not notice a difference between the 2.

high flow panel filters are worth it. Wnnt suck in the warm engine like a cheap pod will.

[tysonVL]

so.. is a K&N panel filter a high flow one?

[VLC86]

yep. they make a big difference to, especially when you combine it with a CAI setup. But i just have one in my standard air box and i noticed a difference straight away
