Pod filter for my missus Colt!

[West]

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of putting a POD filter on my missus' COLT, its a none turbo. Has anyone done this before? Any KIT available?
Also i'm thinking of putting a DC5r muffer on it and maybe replace the catback pipe, will all this VOID my warranty from Mitsubishi? BTW we bought the COLT from Mitsu Chadstone.

Thanks

West

gday mate,

theres a pod kit avail from K&N for the turbo and i'd imagine it'd work on the non-turbo too.. check their website.. K&N (http://knfilters.com.au/)

re: warranty voiding.. do a search there are numerous threads discussing this topic - the bottom line is anything not fitted by mitsi and non-genuine can void your new car warranty.. here's one of the current threads have a read ;) http://rcolt.com/showthread.php?t=1354

The K&N kit WILL NOT FIT a standard colt as the intake is different and DOES NOT run an airflow sensor.

You could fit a pod with the right sized pipe fitted into the intake pipe, then to the pod easy as.

The normal colt runs a MAP sensor insted of an airflow sensor.

It's a waste of time fitting a pod filter to your NA colt, all you'll do is suck in hot air & lose power. Stick to the panel filter, and keep your air cool - the only thing you will gain from the pod is better induction noise and that's about it! If you do decide to run a pod filter, at least get a cold air induction setup with an air box, otherwise you risk getting defected, and stuff your warranty.:)

agree they do sound cool. i lost power on my rcolt, until i made up a full box for it

it'll sound cool with marginal power loss. The stock colt is never going to be a fast car so doesn't really hurt to put a pod on. If it's the same as the old Lancer 1.5Ltr then it's really easy and should cost you less than $40 to fit.
