Individual Filter Pods - LC

Anyone use a set of individual filter pods? I am considering the foam ones without the hard shell as they are supposed to eliminate the issue with pressure waves bouncing back. I'd like to eliminate the airbox cause it is a royal PIA to squeeze the rubbers into place each time I want to get at the carbs.

I have a set of 6mm reed block spacers which really makes it a tight fit to get the carbs in place between the inlet mounts and the airbag rubbers.

Thoughts / suggestions?

For a standard bike most people say the OEM airfiler is best on our motors, only go pods if youve a big cc unit etc :/

My RZ came with a Y boot so I know nothing about the stock airbox but I do know about intake noise. I don't know how long it took me to quit thinking someone was passing me whenever I would accelerate.

I have foam filters on my 4l0 and for this reason I am fitting an airbox to my hybrid as the intake noise is overpowering

I have actually gotten used to it but it would be disconcerting to anyone going from stock.

Don't really care about intake noise. I've had a couple big 4-stroke singles that made a ton of noise through the airbox.

Just want the engine to run reasonably well with no major carburation glitches.

I ran pods on my 4LO for years. Loved them.

Jetting issues? Flat spots?

None, I would also recommend the F2 power jet carbs with LC jetting. Awesome!

Well I've got the OEM carbs for now.

It's been proven.. repeatedly.. that the OEM airbox produces Mo' power than Pods... in anything other than a dedicated Race motor.

And max power is really only relevant on the racetrack. This is a streetbike. A couple HP here or there isn't going to make a difference while trolling through city traffic. If HP was the only thing that mattered to me I'd have a GSXR1000.
