headshok Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 hi guys, i've been asking ard locally in singapore abt close pod filters, been gettin various answers. so here's my question: i wanna change out my stock air box to a close pod. main reason is because i wanna be able to fit a bigger battery under my hood. the damm stock air box is takin up too much space (my engine bay isnt too big). i'm drivin a 1.6L 2004 mit lancer. at first, i wanted to just put an open pod filter. but people said u will lose low end torque but gain more on the high end. but this will increase ur fuel consumption. Gas down here is f**kin ex, so no way am i doin that. then my friend told me abt close pod filters, a brand used commonly here is "simolta", dont know whether u guys have it up there. basically, is a CF round filter that is connected to a cold air intake. my friend said that for his ride, it increased mid range torque, and also improved his fuel consumption. so my question is, will addin a close pod filter affect my low end torque? i'm not much into performance, just want the space to stuff in a nice juicy kinitic battery (theHC 2400).. main thing i'm worried is fuel consumption and low end torque. thanks guys. cheers Quote Shok Industries Feel the POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
