yep... theres a specific ADR rule regarding airbox enclosures that applies nationally.

such an item is classified as "Track use Only" unless (dodgy) engineered

Mate, everything aftermarket is illegal and defectable.

I got defected for a Mugen intake (enclosed filter).

So to answer your question from a police point of view... yes it is illegal, until it gets engineered.

Mount any stock air box. Try even a DC2R airbox, with stock filter... and ghetto fit it.
