k&n panel filter mate not so much for power but its in its own box being kept away from the engine heat which is better for ur engine and also u can do the old cheapo 2 hole mod which might see u pick up some power

another hole in your airbox with a pipe running to a low point that colletcs cool air.
In a vt 6 auto the stock CIA does a fine job

id go with a K&N panel filter, havent heard of problems with, pod filters can be classed as illegal depending on where you live, and can be a bit noisy too

In case you weren't convinced yet, grab the panel filter

Incase noone has said it yet  Panel filter!.
I have run Panel and pod on my old VP. Panel stock was better then an aftermarket pod.
It just beat it all over rather then in one part the panel filter.

I just changed over to a Lukey Air Filter after 100,000k's with the K&N. I thought i would change since i ran out of recharge oil and cleaner, $45 from Bursons, and so far it is slightly better. I also needed to change the K&N as a relo dried it with compressed air, and i didnt wanna take the risk as you not meant to. Lukey is water washed, and can be compressed air dried.......so easier to maintain.
