What do you guys think of the Ram Flo, K & N, Unifilter etc style pod filters? Do you use them? Are they only good for sucking hot air or are they worthwhile when used with some cold air ducting?

I have just bought a 1200 ute and would like to fit one to the standard carbie with the view to also putting it on a Weber when funds permit. Am I able to use the same one or will I need to purchase a bigger one for the Weber?

For the people who have used these style of filters did you use a small filter for the rocker cover breather pipe?

Thanks and sorry for so many questions.

I reckon your best bet is to use a high-flow replacement for the standard filter (like a foam or K&N element) and make up cold air ducting from the front of the car.

Like you said, if you just stick a pod on top of the carby, your just gonna be sucking hot air from the engine, and you may even lose power

Pod filter's are generaly used on efi cars...
On my 1600 when i put the webber on i went to autobarn and bought the kit to suit.

i made up a cold air feed from a c20 van bonnet and tubing with a ram flo filter on the front. I find it good. search for the pics on the site. or i can post them again.
Just have to make up a shiled to stop hot air getting in. Cost effective for what it does.
Good when going down the free way, ive noticed beeter fuel consumption too.

Last month's discussion has links to the pics: cold air intake
