in my opinion pods are crap and jus suck in hot air...... stick with an airbox and cai and a highflow panel filter... it works great and is legal :)

they're not illealge... providing it dosnt breech epa restrictions...
mine passed through a road worthy with one on and so have alot of people. some cops will tell you it is... but they're full of SH&* tell them to prove it...

aaaaaaaaaargh stop wasting your money on silly things that make you go slower.

1. VN V6's don't breath enough air to make any use whatever from a pod or even a K@N filter over a good flowing paper one.

2. Air intake temp makes 10 times more difference to power than any extra uneeded flow ever will.

3. SS inductions isn't as good as a heat gun modified VS SC holden one and they only cost 60 bucks, seal the joins with tape as you dont want any heat whatever to come from the engine bay.

Even better than the factory cai setup would be a CAI that has an inlet right in the front bumper but I haven't seen anyone do that

soooo many arguements in cai vs pod... *shakes head. so much talk from these types of thread. this is what i experienced

i have had both pod and a vs cai kit..

cai is ****.. lack of flow seem it was sufficated
had a pod.. good response up high. didnt suck much hot air as it was right behind the front light. pop yr hood and feel there when engine is turned on.. not really warm at all....

then later i cut a hole in the panel and fitted a flexi hose from my vx fog light hole (i have a vx kit) through the panel and through the bottom on my air box with a kn filter. ripped off vs cai and taped the gap on the bottom air box. works a treat.

however all this talk bout "cai n pod" is basically "each to their own". its a difference not really worrying about. just makes a car breath and respond better. not going to make yr car do 12sec quarters from it

jus becasue it passed roady doesnt mean its not illegal i know a few mechanics who just pass it becasue they dont care..... and it is not epa u need to worry about....i dont think the epa will give to ****s about a 3.6 liter vn with a pod.... the pods fall under ADR rules and regulations...virtualy if its not from the factory or meet australian design rules and u have no engeneers cert a cop can defect you :)

If you can prove to them it's not performance enhancing then no cop will defect you. Yes anything you modify on you cars should have an engineers cert but for pods most cops will not care. Tell a copper it lowers your engines temperature at idle and is not for performance. (even though on every pod is says performance air filter) lol....
