Standard box with a good panel filter like BMC or K&N IMO.
Also, the panel filters have a bigger surface area, so im guessing that helps out also. |

It's all about getting your cold air. The easiest to do is the K&N panel filter and a AU XR scoop.
Then their is the pod, the pod can give you better gains if done properly and gives you s**t gains if done in-correctly. You will have to construct a housing for your pod so that hot air doesn't get to it. Cold air is better  Id say it isn't worth the trouble as the panel set up will be an improvement and will only take you 15 minutes, oppesed to hours for a proper pod set-up.
Panel filter all the way

Sound advice.
I'd only go for a pod if there was something in the way of the airbox. Like an air pump or something
Panel filter will be fine. Easy to do, easy to explain to the cops. Spend your hard-earned bikkies on some underdrive pulleys or something. Maybe think outside the square and find some more ways of getting cold air onto that airbox?

Guys,
Thanks, that is what I though from previous experience and research, However, I thought I would put it open to the forum first incase there was something I had missed. I will order a K&N or a BMC today. Cheers

Pod if you can obtain the BA Pod Setup however.. Not worth the money however at the moment - you don't need that much air.

It'l take roughly 15 minutes to fit the XR scoop; match mouth and drill hole and then fit the panel filter.

Au XR scoop is a vast improvement over the standard scoop

I've found BMC's to be better made and easier to clean last few K&N's I've sold have been poorly made.

Who is a Sydney stockist of the BMC stuff?
Or is there a business who has a good mail order price? Cheers

I would personally go with the airbox + K&N filter + the AU XR snorkle. Unless you can make your own top noth pod setup then do it,but i wouldnt go there personally as it ends up costing more that way.
However after hearing my mates EB XR6 pod filter im now considering getting one lol!
