    Default performance chip/cold air intake for my 3.8L VN

    hey guys,
    was wondering where the best place would be for me to get a performance chip for my car, ive been looking on ebay, and i think ive found a decent one from "goldcoastperformance" for about $150.
    and is it worth it getting a K&N pod air filter installed, presuming i buy a cover for it aswell.

    the main issue with pod filters is keeping them cool , any extra heat and you can lose massive ( or minor) performance..

    personally ive find no differance between the pod and k&n high flow panel filter with a cold air intake pipe but thats just me

    as for prformance chips ive never bothered with one so i cant help ya

    Yeah, i was thinking about modifying the stock box for the pod and having cold air intake going to it, like this guys - Pod Filter with CAI on a VR/VS

    dont bother with the pod filter they are wastes of time. and the best chip you will find for your car you will get through a member on here know as "greenfoam". alot cheaper, and by far the most you will gain from a chip on a v6.

    as for cai, get a supercharged cai off a vs through holdens for around the 50 dollar mark and a high flow pannel filter.
