If the filter needs replacing due to being dirty anyway I don't see the harm in a reusable filter as a replacement. Better for the environment at least.

Yes by doing that you remove the std airbox and you would have probably put in a cold air ducting to the pod so than it changes the flow for the better or worse I think the article is saying is to concentrate on the flow into the intake chamber instead of the filter which may have little benefit compared to doing the intake path. |

Better for the environment at least. this is true but since the test shows that a dirty factory filter has the same flow characteristics as a brand new one, you can save $$ by not replacing  |

most OEM filters are paper.
i personally don't like sponge ones. fibre ones are better.

Jazzpro, they are not talking about POD lah . they are talking about old and replacement filter... In short.. To put it as simply as possible, there’s no problem with the flow of the factory filter – even when it’s dirty.
In nearly all cases it’s not the factory filter element which is causing the restriction. Instead, it’s likely to be the snorkel going into the airbox, or even the shape of the airbox itself.
Don’t start off by changing the filter; start off by altering the intake flow into the box.

oh~~ so what can we do in order to improve the air intake? changing the POD so that direct air can come in easily??

When the manufacturers design the airboxes there is a certain tradeoff between noise and performance. ie they could get more performance if they allowed more noise. Jane and Joe average don't appreciate excessive induction noise just as they don't want loud exhausts (that rats might confuse for drain pipes).

hehehe~~ so standard would be the best? I guess even Mugen doesn't even design a special airbox for Jazz~ just a special mugen air filter is enough ^^~
