Pod air filter

[Willsam]

I got rid of my old air box and fitted in a pod air filter, there is a little noise change but not the best and doesn't seem to help any performance much, is it best to put the old air box with the new panel filter back on or does anyone know how i can get better results from my pod air filter?

POD filters won't give you a power increase. In fact they're more likely to give you a power decrease. Decent panel filter in the standard air box gives the best results.

So would it be good to put my old air box back in do you think?

I love the induction noise from mine, which is why I have it in the first place. If you're not finding the noise worth having then by all means, your best option is to remove it and replace with the standard setup, but be warned you won't ever get big gains (or even noticeable ones) from the induction setup even with the standard airbox. Even though the POD filter loses power, you won't notice the loss because it's a tiny loss.

Basically if you like the noise keep it, if you don't, don't. Power won't change much either way.
