Default pod vs panel my opionon

gday ppl
i just swaped my pod over to a panel filter and i must say the panel filter does alot more i was using an autotecnica pod with a 80mm cold air duct to the front bumpa and now ive swaped to a redline panel still using the air intake and the panel gives much better performance.

i would like to know what you's hav found best etc i guess it would have been better if the pod was a better brand etc
i much prefer the panel as it looks alot neater and no one no's its there but this is all my opionon

cheers

depends on the setup.. a number of people run the pod filter inside the air box.

ok listed in my opinion worst to best setup:

pod filter in engine bay
paper panel filter
high flow (k&n, bmc, redline, etc) panel filter
pod filter in airbox or custom box
