Real Posted 26/02/09 01:02 AM Share Posted 26/02/09 01:02 AM As some of you may know I took out my Pod filter the other day and put back in the original airbox with a K&N filter and well I dunno what it's done but keeping a log book I reached 410km on a full tank, 60% city, 20% open road, 20% Flooring! previous records with the pod filter showed me that I was only getting 350-370 km on a tank! and no I havent changed my driving style at all!Is this normal that it will get more km's off a tank of petty or am I just lucky?

I know that has a factor to do with it all but still increasing by nearly 70km's is great Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/55059-no-pod-filter-better-fuel-economy/#findComment-831253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaky Bones Member 6 Member For: 16y 4m Posted 26/02/09 06:02 AM Share Posted 26/02/09 06:02 AM absolutely you will gain even better results bolting the POD back on and enclosing it in a larger air box with a wicked cold air intake from either inside the front guard or the front of the front bumper Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/55059-no-pod-filter-better-fuel-economy/#findComment-831311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pube Member 159 Member For: 18y 1m 12d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 27/02/09 01:14 PM Share Posted 27/02/09 01:14 PM I really dont get the idea of a pod filter at all. You are way better off using a k&n panel filter in your air box rather than a pod! Only use a pod filter when you need an air filter where there is no space for a proper air box ie. in your front bumper.

PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI! Member 1,742 Member For: 17y 6d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 27/02/09 01:53 PM Share Posted 27/02/09 01:53 PM What experience and testing do you base these claims on?A pod filter has a greater surface area than a panel filter and as long as it is sealed and has a good cold air supply there is no reason it won't out perform any panel filter.
