Pod Filter-easy as

[jacko666]

Had pods on all my cars-so easy to put on a V6!!
Simply take out the standard box (this leaves room for air horns) and last short bit of length from main black pipe.
Put on pod and tighten.
Bend the length of holed soft steel strap that comes with pod so one end slips in the front lip of pod.
bend to shape and fasten ontp left upper bolt from where standard air filter box was. Finished!!!
Had it on for 12 months and no probs.

ok cheers for that, but shouldnt it be in the how-to section

[jolly_97]

double post but meh, this has gone cold anyway.

u noticed much with ure pod filter on? coz im debating wether to get a CAI or Pod, this is one of those arguments that could go on forever - just like ford vs holden...

[xcop5l]

cai is better than pod becaue you dont want exsevive heat reentering the engine

[SMIT]

i have the cai going into the pod on my vt

[jolly_97]

yeah, i think ill go with CAI and maybe modify the setup like kinkbikes later...

Dont worry about the warm air intake. Get a CAI with K&N Filter.
Dont bother with CAI into a pod.

and why excatly is taht hatervp?

It's hard to notice the difference in response with the pod in a v6, because you've got so much power already, the increase in throttle response is negligible. But when I whacked the pod on my old 4cyl 626, I noticed an -instant- jump in throttle pickup, and an easier rev up past 4000. Even my mate noticed it from the passenger seat. The difference was especially noticible with a 2" exhaust on.

On the commodore, I noticed very little difference, if any, when I put the pod on. If I ever get a performance exhaust I'll try the pod again, though. That's probably the only time it's really worth risking the EPA infringement.

shouldnt fit pod filters because it sucks hot air from inside the engine bay and can uppset your ecu better off getting the cold air intake for 80 and get a kn filter

Well, from past experiences on my 91 VN:
Pod (No CAI): Louder induction sound, little beter response.
Pod (with CAI): Just as loud, cant feel much of a difference from with no cai.
CAI (non high flow pannel filter): Little less noisy then Pod, but not that great.

Over all I think ppl spend too much time on these setups, just pick one and if it dosent work for you, then change it. Ive tryed a few setups and ive stayed with the CAI into pannel filter just for a more complete look under the bonnet(and to stay on the right side of the law). If a pod made a worthy difference then I would have it on all the time. I also recently installed a air scoop device that sits behind the grill to direct air flow up and into the CAI. To tell you the truth, even that cant make a distinct change.
