the reasoning behind pod filters is flawed. the idea is more air means more gas means more power but that's not how it works. air boxes create a smooth flow of air. smooth air means more consistent gas can be put into the air stream, which means more power. this means no air turbulence problems at high speed. this means no low pressure flooding issues at low RPM.


if you are racing in a straight line and can control air flow around the body of the intake venturies you could get more peak power but again you suffer low pressure pooling at low rpms. and this is only when you can control the turbulence like when you put the stacks in a semi sealed compartment like they do on race SVs. with the placement of the airbox on the ninja 250, right next to massive gaping holes on the side where your legs sit, it is basically impossible to get controlled air into pod filters.


put the airbox back in, maybe with a high flow filter if you want. properly rejet.
