Pod filter more restrictive than stock airbox?

When I ran through the gears, the bike had very little power in the higher RPMs. I took the pods off and ran it with no filter at all, ran great. This would suggest that it was running rich with the pod filters attached, correct? If that is the case, what kind of pod filters are these? I thought pod filters were supposed to increase airflow.

I was running the stock airbox before. Im really trying to avoid going back to the stock airbox, it just sucks so bad trying to take it on and off.

Thanks! I totally forgot about that issue, I will check that out tonight.

No oil on the emgos. They are indeed dry.
Does anyone know a good set of velocity stacks that would fit these carbs? I saw the ones for sale at Z1enterprises, but looking for something a bit nicer, with a screen. Bike is a '79 KZ650B, accelerator pump type.
