are the first 3 legal if i get a heat sheild ? is the last one legal ?

[Brisbane_boy]

im not sure if tha last 1 is technicaly legal but it dosent look like you can see the pod.

Im not sure on the NSW laws but if all you need around ur pod if a headshield then Yes the 1st three would be legal with a headshilds. as for power gains, well just say you wont be beating a lambo anytime soon. The best thing about them is the noise IMO.

oh and congrats on the car, look good in that blue.

P.S black rims all the way. (just check legal sizes ect.)

[trent188]

thanks
so wouldent i be better off buying a pod fiter that comes in a carbon fibre heat sheild so it is leagal from the start ? would i still get the same noise ?
cheers

[Brisbane_boy]

Yer you get a very similar noise (just not as loud).

How so? The Pod is technically still enclosed, so would be legal

where did you get yours from ? how much was it ?

[Brisbane_boy]

autobarn. payed $80 on sale. i think i saw one there the otherday for $120.
check ebay aswell, iv seen them there aswell.

Im not sure if that other 1 is 100% enclosed marc? I didnt look at it that closly, does look like a good idear but, must be newish i didnt see that when i was looking for 1 for my car. (because not havin an enclosed pod will kill half the people of NSW)

[marcs_sp20]

The simota one is technically enclosed, as you cant see the pod Also look at late model Commodoes, they have similiar designed intakes and are fine...

[Brisbane_boy]

yer, was goin to say its similar to the newer falcon ect..
Id go the injen one if i had the money, it all depens on how much you want to spend.

[70NYD]

simota growlers are legal AFAIK cus they enclose the filter fully from the engine bay. and they are aweosme for ppl with grills cus you get direct ram air effect as well (wish i could fit one to myn... )

[trent188]

hmm i want a k&n filter for the sound but i want to simota for the preformance :S such a hard decision.
Any one live in sydney want to help me take the side trims off this weekend ? im freaking out will it heat gun ruin the paint on the door ?

All the noted intakes will give you the same sound (think of a vacuum cleaner when you put your pedal to the floor ), but can yeild different power figures, but would be pretty close to each other.

The side trims can be easily removed with some fishing line & wax & grease remover...

Also keep an eye out on ebay

[trent188]

bought these today

was looking for clear ones but they didint have any so i settled for smokey i am hoping it goes well with the carbon fibre on the grill when i get it.

[Ice88]

Could try ringing some wheel shops like bob jane, jax quick fit.

Also keep an eye out in the marketplace at ozmazda, osmazdamps, ozmazda club.

whats the little breather/mini pod filter comming out of the side of the carbon fibre cylinder on the left ?

[Orion]

That breather doesn't come out of the filter, it comes out of the cylinder head.

That is the crankcase vent port. It allows gases that build up in the block and head (usually through blow-by) to escape.

Normally it is connected back into the intake piping.
