The computer compensates with ecu, in non ecu you run too lean until you find a cotton cushion case to cover the pod.

Some engines may prefer a K&N theres no doubting. But on its own most dont. Unless you want a more race engine or like change a 30mph scooter to a 50mph scooter. I would always choose a high flow air filtration system to matched my larger intake manifold and less restrictive exhaust pipe.

But for ecomiling the family wagon I'll keep my torque curve lower with the standard air box.

Maybe faster drivers do benefit with certain high output vehicles.....

Depends on the manufactures configuration as to what a pod will do, usually the ecu just compensates.
