There some wicked looking filter + heatshield box thingy on ebay but its bloody expensive. Looks real good tho but @ $240 = ouch!!!!

I think best would be a pod filter with a heat shield in terms of performance. Higher airflow than in a cut up airbox since it's entirely 'opened', and the heat shield prevents/reduces the heat-soak from engine (hot air basically). However, I've browsed around and have heard that the best 'sound' can be had from a modified airbox with a high flow filter

where is this thing? i can't see anything...

The "heatshield box thing" is basically a 2 shields joined together that 'boxes' in the pod filter, effectively shutting out any hot air from the engine. You could just fabricate your own if you have the means and skill!

I've heard that open pod filters are illegal in NSW too. Is it legal everywhere else though??

Cops will give you a hard time about it over here, but by no means illegal.

Thanks for all your comments, suggestions guys. I'll probably stick with a panel filter for now. But its nice to know whats available.

hey h100vw.

Is the green filter washable ? as I know k&n can be cleaned with water.
