Are pod air filters legal or illegal? and if they are illegal why???

[msina1]

their legal,

[maldotcom2]

Only legal if enclosed.

[WogBoyz]

Only legal if enclosed.

and secure'd, you can get defected if there just hanging lose off ur intake pipe out in the open

[shiftySLE]

You'd be better off replacing the panel filter with a good K&N. You know they work well as soon as you put one in you can hear the difference, the open pods take too much hot air.

Ive just rip off my pod and put in hi flow air box and cai heaps better especially when the car warms up all up brand new the hole thing cost me $125,well worth the money!!

In NSW, it's illegal to have an open pod filter.

Half the time when idiots leave open pod filters in the engine bay it defeats the purpose of having them, Its just sucking up hot air. An OEM paper filter is better if its in a closed air box where it can breath cooler air.

illegal unless enclosed in most places, reasons range from fire hazard to not being secured etc

[fuzzy2308]

what state are you in?.
in qld and vic it MUST be secured properly and enclosed in a box of some description.

In WA its legal to have a Pod filter but must be secured. It can be open to.

Yup, totally agree with this one. i have a K&N in my VN.

When i was pulled over for an "inspection" the cops said it was fine as it was because it was secured properly and not flopping around under there.

So in WA they are legal as long as fully secured.

[QLD] don't need to be enclosed, but they must be secured in a fashion similar to factory
that's direct from an engineering signatory

but IMO not enclosing them is useless, like everyone said, they suck up hot air

[VRcommondoor]

so what is better an enclosed and properly vented pod or a CAI with high flow square filter

[VRcommondoor]

and is a secured, boxed, and vented pod legal in NSW?

[pedrotski]

Here is my setup on one of my VS Statesmans, Note the mounting bracket bolts into a stock airbox holder bolt.

[VKCOMMO]

i was told there illegal in NSW. but if there secured then its all ok i'm pretty sure
