im using simota open pod but its not mushroom type, its the tapered type with a customised aluminium tube connected to throttle body.
if you were to ask me, the mushroom type provide the best flow of air to your engine but the filtration is the worst and your engine requires change of EO more often.
direct drive and carbon charger are the same bah. just that one is carbon the other is not. they are good but provided the CAI is located at the correct place. have to be careful not to suck in water during heavy downpour.
thou im using open pod with DIY CAI, i'll still recommend the stock airbox with hurricane or simota stainless drop-in although the stainless steel mesh doesnt provide much filtration.

If u wan power, then go for open pod (best option Apexi). If u dun wan so much noise but wan some power improvement then those close pod (like simota or direct drive) will do. Wan best filteration, then go for cotton type lo.

if you dont hv CAI, then ur filter will suck in hot air in your engine bay which is not gd and fc unfriendly. CAI and carbon charger should work well together. im actually using carbon charger now. BUT. i did not do the piping for cai. is it ok or dumb?
