installing a pod filter on a stock vk calais

[V-ahhh]

hi just wondering if any one no's an easy way to install a pod filter on a stock vk calais

why not jus chuck in a k&n panel filter into the airbox

Well, I have never done it, but I know the company that makes those connections makes a connection for an EFI vk. But looking in the engine bay it makes you wonder how it will fit
Oh, and good luck finding the connection too, as most places never have it in stock.
Another thing that places dont have in stock, bloody normal air filters for the vk EFI. Autobarn and supercheap dont even stock them, I had to get Autobarn to order one in. Hows that? Most popular car, a commodore, they dont have the filters for... Crazy

hey about finding the air filter.....autobarn...supercheap all those places are all ur aftermarket sorta stores....if u want actuall car/engine parts go to a parts shop.....i work at repco.....and i got a vk...we have a minium of 5 vk airfilters sittin on the shelf....places like us are actual hard parts....those otha places are jus showroom stuff.....dont bother orderin stuff in next time jus go somwhere else....cheers

Agreed. I want paint, flashy showroom **** like pedals and knobs and wheels, you'll find me at Autobarn, tools, Supercheap, but for parts, Repco or Burson all the way.

As for the pod on the VK... don't do it man! I'm pretty sure Rarespares sells K&N's for them (panel filters).

i have heard that if you put a pod filter on it will screw up all the air/fuel ratio or something like that?
how much are k&n filters?
cheers, Pat
