Pod Filter For The 320

LT5PLA · 07-04-2011, 01:23 AM

so i was looking at getting a pod filter for the 320 (for sound not for hp gains lol) and i needed to know what diameter the intake neck is, i have circled the part in question in the image.

my plan is to remove the underside of the airbox and run a larger pod.. think its been done before.

thanks

Yes this has been done. Don't remember the diameter but helped SBC install his K&N pod. Gives it a nice VTEC changeover noise

KNE-2021 is direct replacement. Jeef Beef was a massive help and actually wrote up a DIY for what he did. The sound in combination with BMW PE is great. Not much 'go' but its aurally pleasing. At 4500rpm the engine tone changes and at ~5000rpm you get some nice 'woooshing' sound.

getting the direct replacement k&n pod today and installing it tomorrow. I will be removing the lower half of the airbox for more air.

does the k&n filter come with a clamp?? or do i have to get one?

Comes with clamp. You have a torx T20 I imagine cos there's about 6 bolts.

Always better to be aurally pleased

sbce90 · 07-08-2011, 12:04 AM

It will sound great. You won't be able to stop laughing. Just keep hitting 4500rpm lol

LT5PLA · 07-08-2011, 12:12 AM

yeah i remember the sound my old e46 318i (with the 2.0l engine) made with a pod, sounded beefy and the changeover sound is very noticeable!

LT5PLA · 07-10-2011, 07:04 PM

did this over the weekend , sounds really good...

especially around 4,500rpms when it opens its lungs.
