My new pod

[Rosso]

Go to Clarkes Rubber and buy some of that heat resistance foam with reflective backing, and use that to enclose the pod. Simple but very effective in shielding it from the engine bay heat. Make a lid as well.

I did that in my WRX and the difference was very noticeable. If you opened the bonnet after a hard run. The area around the pod was cool to the touch.

Any pics?

Did you just make the 'airbox' out of the foam only? I'd make it out of aluminium or fiberglass and then add foam to the outside - just to make it sturdy and make sure the foam doesn't get sucked around the filter or broken of piecesof foam don't clog the filter.

Hey dudes, ive noticed my fuel consumption increased since i fitted this kit, its probably cause my right foot has got heavier but just wondering if you need to reset the ecu for this mod?

okay im a noob... would adding a air filter to a 2.5i (non turbo) make any noise?

Yeah, it'd give your ride a more deeper & throatier intake note
