Title: Pod filters on a 696
Post by: Mad Duc on July 03, 2010, 04:50:14 PM
Anyone try putting on Pod Filters on their 696?  I want to get rid of the rather large plastic airbox so you can see through the frame.  I haven't taken off my box yet to see what size I would need nor do I really know where to get them, though I'm sure a quick google will yield results.

If you have done this I would love details and a couple pics! Thanks in advance!  [beer]

Wasp makes a kit for the 696 includes velocity stacks and PCIII and filter....it'll run you 1grand though. yes $1000.

Some people say the lack of a velocity stack doenst make much difference in the smaller displacement engines. I dont know. But if your Throttle bodies are any size comapred to mine, then i am selling a set of pod filters for $40. 50mm ID.

Without a velocity stack on my 1000DS, there is a dip in my low end torque that i dont like.

Pretty good gains

Yeah, i was avoiding that thread as I don't want to buy that product, a bit much $ for me.  I just want the pod filters.

I'll see if I can find the measurements of the air intakes. If they are 50mm those filters are mine.

I would advise that the stock 696 runs lean.  Just adding pod filters would allow more air-leaning the mix further.  Without adding at least basic fuel control such as Two Brothers Juice Box or something performance gains would be negligible and could possibly negatively affect performance and engine life long term.

I have the DP ECU that came with the Termi's and high flow filter. Would that be enough? I am not sure if I would get more or less air than with the high flow filter or the pods. I figure I will be pretty much even with the power of the high flow air filter and the pods - I just would prefer look of the pods.

That should be more than sufficient as far as fuel adjustment is concerned, as far as actual performance increase- read the WASPWorks thread- there is some talk there of air turbulence/velocity, etc. and whether or not open pods alone without a velocity stack will make much of a difference..
