fog ballast air intake ?

[callan91]

Hey guys,

I installed a sv6 bumper and have not put in the fog lights because it seemed to be a bit pointless with ADR rules.
I saw a comment in a thread about a guy with a clubsport ? who put a pod filtre in one of his fog light bezels when he went to the drags.
Sounds in theory like a good mod but do you think it will work better than stock performance wise ?
Any opinions or thoughts would be great cheers.

just fit some driving lights instead (not foglights) and wire them up to highbeam instead of parklights.

Was thinking about doing that but the fact i could get a cheap performance gain instead seemed better.

The gains on a 6 banger for street use would be so minimal if you noticed something I'd be very surprised.

I reckon the main advantage to said clubsport? would be the fact that after waiting in a queue, doing a quick burnout and pulling up to the start line = a very warm engine bay.
His pod filter positioning would bypass this issue and probably gain 0.1sec in his ET's. but also be of little or no advantage in everyday commuting. IMO

Ah okay thanks for the input guys .. And maybe if i can get the colour match right it wont look to bad as a DRL.

Just be careful. When driving in the rain, water will be hitting the front bar and of course going into the fog light area which wil saturate the filter. This will reduce the flow, and in the worst case scenario, allow water into the engine.

^ What he said. That filter would get saturated when it rains. Rain directly hitting bar, and the water splashing up off the road too. It's at a level that would catch a hell of a lot of water.

I remember seeing a (I think Street Machine, but couldve been Street commodores or something.)
That had taken funnels and attached wide ducting hoses to focus air flow from the front dams to the brake rotors for use at track days. that seems to me a better idea than the pod filter.

Is a mod like that legal?

At least it would look "fully hektic"
