You will starve a pod filter of air, that flows more than 520CFM by putting it into the standard ford airbox. It will basically perform worse than a K&N panel filter..

cheers....

ok, didn't use the air filter idea (was a s**t cheap one had lying around), was gonna get a K&N panel but instead got a FRAM airhog panel for $60. there exactly the same. Gotta say better throttle response and if u don't wanna spend over $100 for a K&N, go a FRAM.

Cheers

one thing i learned about pods, especially the cheap ones is the glue they use and how the cheap brands let it run down from the seals clogging up most of the pod...

Check it out for yourselves, You get what you pay for.
