K&n filter

Hoyhoy.
I've read some where that a pod filter to be legal in NSW has to be boxed in.
True or false, might be the question.

I'm not sure that a pod filter is legal at all in NSW, except if it's 100% enclosed in a box, which of course defeats the whole purpose

My favourite line from the Disney movie Alladin...

"Your only in trouble if you get caught"

the guy from auto joy said to me, it must be boxed in to prevent mechanic's arm being sucked into engine. We both had a laugh.

There some wicked looking filter + heatshield box thingy on ebay but its bloody expensive. Looks real good tho but @ $240 = ouch!!!!

where is this thing? i can't see anything...

The "heatshield box thing" is basically a 2 shields joined together that 'boxes' in the pod filter, effectively shutting out any hot air from the engine. You could just fabricate your own if you have the means and skill!

I've heard that open pod filters are illegal in NSW too. Is it legal everywhere else though??

Cops will give you a hard time about it over here, but by no means illegal.

seriously, add what eva in your engine bay of a vw/audi.. cops wont even bother looking at it.

I have a pod in my engine bay I have used a heat shield that I bought from Supercheap. Its a half shield so not completely covering it does the trick and puts out awesome sound.

On throttle 3000rpm+ you can hear the pod and it sounds like a V8 awesome.

Oooooh YEAH! Love that sound! I especially love that at the lights the bloke next to you in the Pulsar SSS or Civic, even the Commodres think it's just another little 4 banger with an exhaust... till the lights go green

I have funny ears, so this induction noise thing people go on about... i cant hear it!!

[Soundofav6]

Would it be possible to some how mount a pod filter in original air box to use as heat sheild ? Or am I totally off the track ?

Apart from the sound of pots, in terms of effectiveness, straight pot with heat shield vs panel... similar?

hey mk3vr6 would you happen to have a pic of your set up?

[MattyT]

Probably not enough space inside the filter box, theres also nowhere to mount the filter.

A BMC CDA is basically the same thing, with the added touch of ultra-sexy carbon fibre.

yeh buy the bmc or wot i have is d rapidHP.. samething as the bmc except not carbon fiber but metal

Yep, our airboxes are tiny.
