Sorry mate got to argue with you there i have put both a pod and KnN on my vt and i reckon i used 30% more fuel with the pod if they were that fuel efficient they would be in every car especially in v6 and v8 cars and it would be a lot cheaper than the factory airbox and extruded snorkels the tec guys that design and test these things are not stupid they would have thought of a pod at one stage(i.e cheaper production costs) yes a pod may suck in more air and the m.a.f reads this but you end up running to rich you end up dumping fuel dont get me wrong pods are great for the track but suck for fuel effcientcy on a stock general road use commy :bop:RKZ234 said:I have used both and the Pod certainly provides much better economy.
In Vic, the Pod DOES NOT have to be in a box. (It's got me buggered why any state would require a pod to be enclosed)
Even if you have done other work to the motor, as long as it is emissions complaint, who cares.
I had the Ex's VX with a pod fitted. The car was checked over by Qld Coppers wearing blue overalls whilst on holidays. They checked rego, tyres and id plates etc. All they said was nice neat car and asked what made me fit a pod. I told them we did it to reduce fuel consumption and that it had reduced consumption by over 30%.

And also what is a panel? Is it just a replacement air filter pad, same as the standard one, except that it lets air through it more effieciently??
