pods

Do pods help performance?

WTF is a pod?dont you store stuff in them and then they come pick it up.

i like my kn pods. was a big airbox fan but with pods carb work got a lot easier.

 

performance wise im sure they are way better than stock box. if you ride in a lot of water type stuff i wouldnt suggest pods

I like my pods for sand but for trail riding it sucks cause you have to watch for the cricks and mud.

The pods are great cause my shee would not breathe with the stock airbox and the T5's.

I love mine. For looks they are great. More open underneath. Make maintenance and accessability much easier

Pods do make them run better but, they also don't filter the dirt out as well. The rear wheels throw dust and dirt directly at the filters.

 

I just put a set on mine and with less than an hour riding time I pulled them off and saw some grit on my slides.

are you using a foam filter or K&N. I wont run K&N, only uni or equivilant foam filter oiled up and a pre filter over the top. never seen any crap in my carbs even after riding for days in the dunes!

I dont think pods result in a very significant power increase over a K&N in the stock air box, probably only cause you to jet up one main size, 2 at most. I wouldn't do it just for a performance increase if I already had a K&N in the box. I and most people run them because it makes installing and working on big carbs much easier, or if you only plan to run in the sand.

 

K&N pods with outerwear work very well for me in the sand, filters and outerwear stay clean enough to run for several days, no fine particals or dirt residue ever detected on the slides. Sand sticks to any oiled surface like a mofo and the nylon outerwears prevent this. I run uni pods in the dirt. I have ran them is snow and a puddles with a little mud, and very dusty conditions with no issues. No deep water (over 1 ft deep) crossings. The best thing about the air box is that even with the lid off is that is reduces the amount of filter maintenance by quite a bit and the ability to run in water that is about as deep as the bottom of the cylinders with no issues.
