Its long been my interpretation that un-shielded pods are defectable, and also are no use if they are just sucking in hot air from around the engine bay. However they are an improvement on airflow, having a greater surface area to suck in air.
On the other side a CAI intake is great for sucking in cold air, but still is hindered by restricted airflow through the filter.
So as you have probably guessed by now, what are your opinions on using a pod filter together with a CAI, with the pod being housed inside the current air box. On top of that I escape being defected because the pod is enclosed, or is it worth paying more and getting a panel K&N (as from what Ive seen pod's are also a LOT cheaper than panel filters). I realise its been asked before, but I couldn't really decide whether it was a good idea or a bad one.
