All you need to do is put more openings (towards the blinker) in the lower airbox to make it breath better, The 'Monaro" intake is just a shroud that reduces hot under bonnet air being breathed in. The pic shows what the VY 285kw HSV used:

Yes, try the K&N Panel, then after a good week of driving, take it out and face it towards the sun and see how much dirt it's compiled on it.

so to buy the mace pod in box..with a bad pod..is $270..then its better to get a k&n pod which is another 70-90 bucks im guessing??...dunno which is better or easier?

The filter we use isn't bad as what people may think, in fact it's better then a K&N item in the fact that it can be run oiless. Why is this fact important, well on cars that run MAF's it certainly is for the following reason :)

Food for though ;)

ok thanks for that mace, as i asked fishman before for the specific reasons of i dont really want to be running a oiled filter because of the storys ive heard of people having problems with the oil running up the intake pipe and into the maf sensor..will probably be purchasing a cai from you soonish.
