what pod can replace airbox (without re-jetting...)

[Guest]

Hi,

just for easier installation, no power gain needed, no re-jetting wanted, not adding a differrent exhaust...

what pods that can replace the airbox ?

thanks for your thoughts...

You can replace the airbox with another airbox without rejetting...that's about it.

Unfortunately, Curly is correct. If you do pods, you might as well get a pipe and put a DynoJet kit in there.

What they said but just to explain a bit. Most, if not all, pods are less restrictive than stock airboxes. This will cause more air to enter the carbs and make the fuel mixture leaner. At the very least you will need to put in larger main jets to compensate.

Running lean, as you may know will cause a whole host of performance problems which can take some effort to sort out.

You could go to pods without changing jets if you alter the pods to make them more restrictive....but this kind of defeats the purpose. You can do this by a) covering a part of the exterior of the pod with tape or a plastic sleeve b) introducing filter foam to the inside of the pod.To get it right you will need to experiment so again its hardly worth it.

In my experience, the K&N pods are best but expensive. Emgos and the like are more or less junk with little to no air restriction so they definitely will cause a lean situation if not modified.

As suggested and to avoid any problems you should plan on a jet change at the very least. If you want the performance of a freer flowing exhaust then combine with a good pipe.

Good luck with it.

APE Pods are supposed to be very close in quality to the K&N pods, but less pricey. Just a thought.

K&N claims foam filters have reduced air flow. So try UNI filters.
