Hi,I was checking out the stock air intake and
was wondering if there is any benefit using
an after market pod type.
The intake plastic piping seems a bit restrictive.
Anyone tried any mods in this area.

It's not as restrictive as it looks, well least not on a standard engine. The main problem with a cone type filter is the heat in the engine bay means it'll be sucking in more hot air than with the standard set up.

Yes I was thinking that and I suppose if a pod were better then it would be OE.
A bit of 100mph tape should rectify the brittle/worn intake plastic.
Thanks,Dave.
