I have a broken catch at the back of the factory air box. So I am considering wether to replace the box or put a cone pod air filter on.
Any comments/opinions on which is better way to go?

Results in summary:

* all temps measured at pod and factory filter.
I really should really dig up all my data and produce a table.
There were some other interesting results in there that have slipped my [feeble] mind :P
