I have heard from a guy that has had 3 starions in SA that behind ther right front 1/4 panel the rubber hose behind wheel arch faces backwards, he suggested that if you turn it to face fowards it would improve the stock airbox legally.
As air can flow straight up through it like a front mount cold air intake.
Anyone tried it??

Looks good! I have a foam airfilter in mine though! Helps with all of the oil and crap flying around the engine! I just take it out and wash it! :beer

The filter is fine...One of the better ones on the market.
As for boxing it back up....Just try to make sure you can keep as much of the hot air in the engine bay away from it as you can....but considering the location of the stock box...you don't really have to worry. Just make sure you get a nice cold air feed to it and it will be awesome.
