Welcome to Scooter Street! In this video, Brad is here to uncover the truth about POD filters and whether you really need one for your 50cc scooter. He dives deep into what a POD filter does, how it differs from a factory airbox, and the potential performance benefits or drawbacks.
We reveal the limitations of a factory airbox and explain how adding airbox stuffers can increase the airflow. We also caution against installing a POD filter on a stock or mildly modified scooter as it can lead to tuning difficulties and reduced power.
For those with a race setup, Brad recommends the Malossi E5 and E13 POD filters, which offer excellent airflow and in the case of the E5 has an optional cover.
