CaM 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 just gotta mac it onto your afm by way of an adaptor or if it will slip straight on then do that.... just have a look. really need to do a full cold air induction thing, and heat sheilding for it to be of merit, but yeah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 Just go for aK&N flat panel filter, save yourself the time and trouble for what will be a guaranteed small improvement. There's every change that the pod filter won't improve your performance at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

325GRANT 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 i have a pod filter ... dont think it makes any difference, no better no worse. bit more induction noise but thats all. depending on what filter you have you can prob go to repco and get a adaptor to fit thats all i did Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westie88 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 not sure what the later engines are like but if you remove your filter box you may need to make a bracket to support the weight of the intake .(in my e30 the filter box is bolted onto the chasey). i only chucked a pod on because it worked out cheaper than buying a standard filter,but now i wish i had left it as it was- all it seemed to do was suck more gas.

m325i 709 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 Im surprises they have no game on BMWs. On a turbo jappa they make HEAPS of difference. I reckon like 5-8 hp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sudo 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 They have a gain on any turbo car. But on an NA Import you'd only get 1-3 hp gain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon like 5-8 hp You'll probably find that they have designed with max performance in mind already ... thats why the factory ones are designed better than japa's ..

Why would they sell cars with performance filters when that's just an additional cost they can save on by using mass produced replaceable filters.Economy of scale my friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
