haha what he said, what would be the point of metal or fibreglass anyway? not like its going to be cheaper? and give you any more performance?

I reckon just mod the existing box, thats if your not really worried about looks.

na, go for a pod and shield if you wanna do it yourself. pods flow more then the standard panel and you can really heard the induction noise too.

unless theres cold air coming in from somewhere OTHER than the stock option, it's pointless

but i say, use flibreglass
it's better at NOT holding heat
i made one out of metal, and damn thing heats up so fast, its bound to keep the hot air inside the airbox, defeating the purpose

but metal is eaister to work with...so theres the trade off
personalyl, go the Holden CAI kit

Exactly. It costs like $65 all up and about an hours work. Works a treat.

And for all those naysayers that say the K&N panel makes no difference, I had mine out for cleaning yesterday, and while it was drying out I had a stock paper filter in. Automatically the car ran like an absolute bag of turd until I but the K&N back in.
