If you guys are spending $130 on a K&N why not just fork out an extra $100 and get the Comptech Icebox? You will get far more of a gain and you get a reuseable filter.

So the RTA/copz dont hassle us about engine mods

The icebox looks stock and is completely enclosed.

If you are really worried you could keep the stock lid on - and just remove the resonator, install horn and use the icebox filter. That would work heaps better than just K&N.

Cops won't defects you. I asked police once wheather you could use pod air filter or any after market air filter and they said it's fine.
For Non forced induction car you need to get engineering certifcate to installed it and most of the modification will be legal if you have the engineering certificate.
Likes mercs the AMG model they have tuned it from factory but it is legal because it got the engineering certificate attached.

Can confirm k&n panel filter combo with comptech icebox is 'louder' then uni filter drives just as good as well if not better.
I recommend the mod

Got my K&N today and yes it does provide noticable throttle response and power, the car simply feels like it can breath easier

Although the engine still sounds like a motorbike when accelerating around 2300RPM, which I was hoping the K&N would change. Obviously I need to mod the resonator/piping to get a better sound.

I got defected for my Pod on my Civic, but I had no idea I needed a Certificate.
It would have been nice if the shop told us it required one, or put a notice on the box or something...


Is there a gov website you can check this kind of stuff?

Basically, everything in your car must comply with ADR and emissions (including noise), and the only mods not requiring a certificate are those that were previously available as options on the car. I remember there was a more detailed document on the site but I can't seem to find it again. Keep looking around in that messy site.
