I dont want to loose CAI on demand (during accelleration) and HAI during cruise which is standard on the Pug205, or have sucking noises. Paper filters last for 5 years plus and DONT use more fuel as they age a little, high speed power does eventually suffer, but torque and economy often improve.

Put on a pod.

Slower warm up.
Use more fuel.
Sucking noises.
Less Torque.
Heat loss via 100% cold intake.
Dubious filtration.
Feed the crazy K&N monster.
Chinese clones 1/4 the price
Tee shirt-free.

Pods normally go with a performance rechip or 02 sensor and really kill fuel economy.

THANK YOU! (I use a T-Shirt for a filter.)
