Hi guys, I was wonder if anyone has installed a pod filter on their car with stainless steal or aluminium pipping? If yes would you kindly upload any pictures + information you have so i could get some idea's on where to run the pipe?
Atm, I'm thinking of setting up the pod filter so it sits behind the bumper or either running the pipe down into the gaurd so it sits there hidden away from the coppers but as you know, theres alot of fiddling around to do since im setting up from scratch.

IF ANYONE HAS MEASUREMENTS OR A TENPLATE OF THEIR WORK PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP. Thankyou!

I am looking at getting some custom pipes made from Powerflow which will reach out the bonnet through a scooby scoop, with socks to fit over the ends. This will be for sunny days only though, obviously!!!

Probably not any power gains like this, but will look and sound the nuts!

Hey Levin BZ-R... would you mind givin me the measurements of ur piping please? and if you could, could you take a closer photo of ur mod showing the part where it leads to the filter?
I dont mind your setup but i was sorta thinkin of going a lil more serious like having a few bends in the piping so that it'll go down and hidden away from the coppers.. thats if i get pulled over. But in order to get that happening i gotta take out the filter box n get some measurements happening which will be a bit of fiddling around. Anwyays, please take a few photos n upload it to this post if you can. thanks bro =P oh btw, you know where you got the filter leading to... does it sound nice inside n outside of the car? noticable difference? oh btw, i didnt see any brackets on the pipe? do you have any, if so where did you mount it bro?

thanks for the replies guys but it'll be real helpful if you posted up some photo's of the piping mods =P

Here is a photo (I hope it will help you) and the way I did this pipes. For the dimensions,just measure the diameter of the circle on the airbox.There is one bracket on the pipe,on the middle.You will see a lot of difference in hp mate!! :cheers:

Hi guys I currently hav a pod filter sitting in my engine bay sucking up hot engine bay air :(
What I want to do is relocate it to the compartment infront of the left tyre; where that circulation air box thing normaly is. I've seen a few ppl on here who have done it.

My question is, is it legal to widden the whole that goes down to it in NZ? and if so by how much?
Cheers

Lol very true!
I will see how much I want to widden it by, shouldnt be too much. The only problem is that my cars not a very friendly colour to go over with some spray paint afterwards; not that it would really matter tho.

refer to this thread for more info.

Never had a problem for wofs. There is no way they know you have modified the hole, just clean it up with a file. The wof man wont know how big the hole was b4.
