My new pod filter ricer or not ?

pointless in my opinion. They do nothing and always look ricey if the engine is under 200hp anyways.

 

you lose a bit of bottom end torque with a pod but better in the higher revs i just get it for the induction noise ftw

edit:
pod filter make much more difernce on a lower powered car than i high power car dude.. turbos can make up for the stock air restriction where without a turbo you need all the air you can get

 

the way i see it is your losing the cold air that was taken from behind the light and getting the engine heat. But at least yours has a shield
