I have a 34 with a avo silicon intake and prob half of the people on here mate.iv never had a issue. What pod filter you got? My silicon intake connects to a pod filter in my guard. Don't look to deep into it. I think you will love it. What else are you planning on doing? Have a look at my set up or other peoples on this forum to help you out
