Air Filters
Fitting a replacement air filter (including pod-type air filters) is considered a minor modification and does not require specific approval. When fitting a replacement air filter, you must ensure it is securely attached to the vehicle and does not cause an increase in noise from the air intake system. To resolve this issue, the air filter element may have to be effectively encased or boxed-in.
In addition to the above requirements, the vehicle’s gaseous emissions must not be adversely affected. As such, all emission sensors must remain fitted (and connected) in a similar location to the original vehicle manufacturer’s design. It is also important to be aware that some types of sensors give false readings when oil soaked air filters are used. When oil soaked air filters are used, confirmation should be sought from the manufacturer about the effect on the exhaust emissions.
Please Note: Air filters should be flame retardant.

But only on EFI cars.....NOT on cars with carby's and not oiled filters.
