In some states it is illegal to have a pod filter, not sure about NSW. But you would be much better off getting a high low panel filter which just sits in your standard air box, it will give a better power gain because a pod will suck hot air in from the engine.

pods give induction sound which makes you think your car is instantly 'faster' panel filters are better, esp good paper ones

I had a pod filter, with a heat shield on mine for about 6 years, but went back to panel filter a few months ago. Honestly the pod done sfa. It looked cool, but that was about it. Panel>Pod IMO.

In NSW they're legal if they are boxed. ( covered )
