Hi Vin,

I inquired about the air filters, too: They are the same as stock, so you are right. But prettier box ...

I think the standard box looks better.

But which functionality should a air box have than filtering the sucked in air? Perhaps a very little bit improvement of performance?
I am still considering about the air-box-filter-green-changing-topic.

I think Gero can tell more about the sound, for he has already installed the airbox of the sport package. The sound must have changed because of the other airbox. Whether it is a improvement or only an increase of loudness might be discussed.
