Air pods or OEM airbox and filter?

I am a big fan of factory airboxes. The reason why is because the manufacture spent countless hours and research and development to achieve a well balanced power curve. The sole purpose of an airbox is to equalize the air entering the velocity stack at the rear of the carb. If the air is not equal entering each carb and cylinder, the engine will run rough, the idle will wander, and tuning becomes difficult.    Pods are useless in my opinion  because  even   drag racers don't use airpods, they use velocity stacks.    The Factory airbox should be used at all times. Now depending on the type of airbox you have, some modifications to the box can be made, but careful consideration should be used when doing that.  I have found by increasing the opening to a stock airbox slightly, I can increase the air intake into the stock box. This does not interfere with the engineered aspects of volume inside the box, just the diameter of the intake port opening. By allowing the air to be less restricted getting to the air filter, you can increase the volume of air getting to the air cleaner. I also use high flow KandN air filters. These filters increase the flow and volume of the  air that enters the airbox, less restrictive, but still maintains the balance of the airbox. Some jetting may be required. Use a dyno with a sniffer to check your burn, and adjust for your riding conditions, Carb Bikes only. Fuel injected bikes will automatically adjust. Its always best to verify the  burn the traditional route or use a dyno with sniffer.
