Would you gain any thing more from a pod then a flat?The main reason im asking is because a soon as a cop see's the pod they start going all over the car, that's why I was going to hide it in the box.Thanks.Michael.

Posted 21/12/06 10:07 PM Share Posted 21/12/06 10:07 PM u should get better air flow with the pod filter, and some better turbo/cooler sounds aswell.I think pod's are only illegal if they're not inclosed, so if the air box off a xr8 fits, use one of those.

Some cops aint that dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
