RS Airbox
Decided to start a thread on this as the previous mentions in other places were getting messy....
Discovered on another forum an easy mod to free up the breathing on our cars.
Most tuners I spoke with agreed that the standard air box with a decent panel filter would easily flow enough air for a stage 2 tune.
The standard cold air intake on the car draws most of its air from the engine bay & has a further cold side which is blocked from factory 
I removed the intake and cut out the bits as required
There is already a factory air feed from behind the bumper in place by both cut outs
I blocked off the hot air feed from the engine bay with some aluminum tape & also the resonator box inside the air box
I also removed the silly snow screen at the bottom - not really required here in Australia
Haven't had much of a chance to drive it tonight & still yet to buy a replacement hi-flow filter but the diverter valve can now be heard with the windows down.
