Anything pre engine like the air box is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding a pod to the factory airbox will not cause you any grief with only a catback exhaust. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean like you cannot blow through the thing, same with other one that was in it, also its ryco brand. White papery material. I was always under the impression that if air cannot get or is restricted then car wilnot go as good and chew more fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably isnt going to be noticeably just blowing threw it with your mouth, I wouldnt expect it to be blocked. Is there anyother reason you want to change the intake.
