My brother has a pod on his, wouldn't have a clue about performance but it makes the hornist sucking noise!

if its for an n/a its useless better off getting a k&n panel filter and doing cold air induction.

if its for a turbo then get a pod filter.

EDIT: since your new to the vl scene make sure you check out www.calaisturbo.com.au , its another great site for vls.

just whack another snorkel on the front of the airbox.....

Nah that snorkels pretty tiny. Your best following coastvl's CAI article, he's a member on here aswel.. You can still leave the original snorkel there, but just bung up the end so it doesn't suck anymore. And then use the PVC tubing through the guard. Lots better than a pod without heat shielding.

I'd tend to agree with that. It also won't lead to trouble should you replace your AFM with an AMM. (air mass meter)

I got a pod on mine, i noticed when i put my foot down my PWR lights sometimes comes on then turns of when i drop the revs or turn on the switch then off again. Dunno whether that means its sucking in too much air and thinks its in PWR mode or its just faulty.
But my power mode button still works...
