For someone such as me who is not so mechanicaly advanced, can yahs help out on this one?!
 : My previous ride being a REX, I ripped out the Air Box and replaced it with a "fully sick" Air Pod to help the sucker breath like a mofo. Made a huge difference in the car, especialy since it had a turbo hanging off it. Now that I have a I6 Donk, I noticed most of you guys just put a better snorkel on and POD inside the box.. Im just wondering, is there a reason why the Air Box and snorkel should be left in? any reason for not removing snorkel and box to just run a POD? :yeees: |

Snorkel should be left on because it helps get more air in.
Box should be left on because it's illegal otherwise. |

that and it helps the pod get cooler air, instead of the engine bays hot air.

I realise taking out the box is illegal, but so is the height of my car haha
 : So it apparently just helps suck more air hey? I'm tempted to test this theory and run my car with a POD in Air Box and run POD alone with no air box. Anymore theorys people? |

what might be able to be done is to cut a hole into the inner guard and run a pod filter there, getting lots of cold air. Leav the air box intact covering the plumbing so it looks standard and make up a guard around the pod to keep water and such from getting onto it in the inner guard. Juat a thought

I think you'll find Subis have snorkels just like Falcons. It's just piped through the guard.
