pod filter enclosures
heres a question, when is a pod filter actually legal?
does it have to be boxed up and or closed off? its just something lingering in my mind since i got my blue slip i had a similar discussion with the mechanic about? whats everyone else's thoughts? |

As far as I remember, ( in Vic ) a pod filter is not illegal.
From memory of the Vic books , you can't have : * Oiled filters ( such as K&N ) * More than 1 intake mod ( ie either pod OR intercooler, not both ) But NSW is probably different. |

thats crazy...........its so dam close to the engine still, i would think you would want it as far away as possible, after all pod filters are about cold air, not more air....afm does that for you....unfortunately...
