Im not sure what to think about this video.

 

Throwing out an intricately designed component and replacing it with a $50 'performance mod' is never a good idea.





You should see these guys dyno testing a $1500 exhaust...

 

Isn't this a repost? I thought you ^ posted this before

 

Yeah it's a repost, nvm. I'll never pass up an opportunity to bitterly degrade pod filters.

 

I love MCM

 

 

First, The car they're using isn't making enough power to demonstrate any real difference and at 66HP, I'm sure the stock intake flows just fine. Second, going from the first pod to the second gained 2HP. Not a significant amount, but that's almost 4%. On a 300HP car, that would be about 12HP. Decent gain going from one filter to another.



Third, "Pod filters" might be big on the upside down side of the planet, but here in the States, most people use real intakes, not a "pod filter" slapped on the MAF sensor.

 

To be honest, their scientific method leaves a -lot- to be desired. 2hp is definitely within the error margin from run to run, there's no A-B-A testing, and they don't test all of the same pods on different cars.





Throwing a pod on the end of your MAF isn't an upside down thing, it's a spastic modification that is practised by 16 year old pillowstains worldwide.

 

Maybe one of you guys can contact Jamie and Adam @ MythBusters and bust this myth once and for all..........
