Why do you want a pod filter, do you have a turbo?
na dont have a turbo just heard they give a bit of extra power
so the pipe that is coming from the air box is held up by the box.so i just disconnect the box attatch the pod and it all just hangs there?

The Pods!.... they do nothting.... Get a CAI, will be better. Plus if you'r in NSW then thats a defect right there.
na live in tassie,iv also heard good things about cai's.where can u get a good one from and how hard are they 2 install?
Get a K&N panel, f*ck pods unless you got the right gear attached to it, Theres literally 4.5 billion threads on pods and panels.. i ended up going a K&N panel works beautifully and i can tell a slight performance in throttle response.

I got mine from ebay for $50, then all i had to do is cut out a little bit of plastic from the airbox. You'll know how to do it ones you get the CAI.
all pods do is make noise make it sound like you going faster and a standard paper element will more then enough for a standard motor (standard includes chips'exstractors and ''zorsts'') dont bother with a k&n just get a cai money better spent.
Float like an elephant sting like a tree clubsport hits what doug does'nt see
where else can i get a cai from apart from ebay?,i dnt like using ebay

Most car places like Scotts Auto or Autobarn can order them in for you.
You can get a genuine Cold air intake system from any holden dealership. Only costs around 50-100$ as well not 250+ like autobarn.

Pods are worse than CAI's, due to the fact if you don't set them up in a decent set up in your front bar, they suck in hot air from the engine bay.
Hot air into engine = Not good for performance
Cold air into engine = Good for performance.
**** pod filters.

Not really wank factor, they are useful with FI set ups, or, like i had in my old VP, long story short, had the pod mounted in the front bar. Straight cold air hitting it and being sucked up the intake pipe. Had to clean it every week without fail, but my old VP had a VP Senator bodykit, so the front bar has 2 holes each side of the front from factory design, perfect spot to house a poddy.
Other than that, i wouldn't waste my cash on one. My VS Senator has the HSV cold air induction system from factory with the high flow rounded top airbox, i shaved the lip on the intake scoop back a few centimeters and sanded it etc so it didn't look like shit, worked alright, would let more air in, as they are from factory are shit, you can't even fit your finger between the lip and the body of your car.
I'd Prefer To ROAR!
personally i dont really think that cai and pods make any difference either way. but factory hsv ones look a lot better than the standard ones
how hard is it to install a CAI?

Can you not read mate? It would be simple. Use the search button.
Cheers
cai is easy too install and actually sucks cold air when the motor is hot, those pods will only work untill it gets hot in the engine bay.... unless you do some pipework and mount it where cold air is flowing constntly.
holden, honda, pitbulls
if u wana ru a pod just make a heat shield for it that way no hot air

you still have to feed the pod air, you really cant shield it completely from the engine bay heat unless its completely enclosed (pod in a box) with a big pipe sucking air from outside. So as you place it in a box/cylinder/enclosure, its pritty much the same as a panel filter in the standard airbox, add a CAI and your done.

Wanted: VR/VS Standard Rear Bumper Bar - Can be damaged - PM me if you have one
I created a pod setup on my old vl (i know, older car, but setup could be re-used).
Basically i replaced the stock air box and sat the pod on some clamps using the airbox holes and screws. I then bent up some sheetmetal and created a box around the pod which then sealed to the underside of the bonnet when shut using some rubber foam strips.
This next part is illegal but worked a treat. I cut a hole in the bodywork under the pod and ran some pvc pipe with a 90 angle and clamped it to the inside of the front bumper bar (the vl has small slits in the bar which allowed clean fresh air through to the pipe). The pipe then fed the cold air up and into the sealed box the pod was in.
Same idea as running your pod down and sitting it up under the bumper, but this way saved a heap of cleaning time and prevented water being soaked up into the filter too.
The end result was a very loud straight six (good old nissan engines); great pick up from a standing start and when it hit around the 80-100kmph it was very responsive to throttle change.
