FTO AUSTRALIA

hey everyone.
so i was wondering about pod filters, do they actually improve any of the performance aspects of the car?
If so then which pod filter would be the best suited for our beloved FTO's
thank you for all the help

and, do you really need 2 threads for this?

Watch the mighty car mods vid on YouTube it will answer your questions

Ive got a bit of a question on this. Where do you get pods that fit these days. A lot of the shops that were selling them for the FTO no longer exist. Ive got someone in WA wanting one and did a bit of searching for him last night. Didnt come up with much though

Pod filters are generic. You can buy whatever size you like and get the blue silicone pipe adapter which available at various sizes to fit it to your FTO.

I received this today and I am disapointed
The filter looks the part but........The description clearly states that it comes with a stainless steel intake pipe and I got a 10cm long 4" stainless connector pipe
Did I get jipped? The seller is now away until Sept 1st

THE KIT INCLUDING EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR YOU INTAKE SYSTEM, INCLUDING:
- STAINLESS STEEL INTAKE PIPE
- BMC 4" AIR FILTER (MADE IN ITALY)
- HOSE CLAMP
Color: RED
Description: This cold air intake kit will bolt on 6A12 MIVEC V6 engine, improves power and torque., and add chrome color to your engine bay.

That description is very deceiving....
For that price too, I'd expect way more than 10cm....

The filter alone can be ordered in at AutoBarn for $124.00

I'm guessing the "pipe" is just to bolt the pod onto the stock intake pipe.
But yes, very deceiving.

Thats correct, but the desription says stainless intake pipe not stainless connector pipe
How long does a cylinder need to be to become a pipe?
You don't call an egg ring a pipe

Hmm very deceiving indeed.
Not sure if you can get a refund under eBay's policy, as technically its not a wrong description, its just very poor and i guess too provocative that everyone assumes its the whole intake pipe.

Regardless if your keeping it a stainless tube like that should only cost around 30-40 dollars max, ive seen em for less. Go online.

There is this, it might fit with an elbow to the throttle body, I could keep the filter I got and sell the one that comes with this pipe......

But then again it does not state the end diameters

Here's another option for you.

You would also need a reducer for the throttle body.
