I am just wondering if pod filleters are legal in the state of victoria. my bro said that the oil ones are but, dry are ok. It is only if you have a turbo you carn't have a pod and a intercooler. is this correct.

to the best of my knowledge a pod filter is fine SO LONG as it is in the original airbox. Something to do with emmissions compliance.

As far as i know exposed poed filters are not allowed due to emissions as well as being a fire hazard in the engine. They need to be enclosed.

Im pretty sure if the car gets the induction noise that you usualy get with a pod filter then its illegal.

I was under the impression that a pod filter was legal as long as a model of that car came with a pod filter ie: you install a pod filter with the pod filter airbox from a Tseries onto a regular AU falcon. Installing the pod into the factory airbox would also bee the same thing i guess, no real modification because its just a different type of filter?

You need it enclosed to prevent fire. Not that I've ever heard of it happening.
Also I heard something about only being allowed one intake mod? Maybe that was an insurance thing, but it rule out putting a pod and intercooler on. |
