ahh i feel ur pain mate sorry to hear ... i got pulled over last australia day n had the car inspected, got me on the pod not being enclosed, exhaust too loud n P plates being "hidden"... i only got the $81 tho in just a ticket, no canary or red or nuffin so i was lucky... after that i made a basic metal box 4 the pod n had no trouble since
best thing i guess would be just wack the stock airbox back in to clear the defect, sell the pod, n buy a hi flo panel filter like k&N or sumtin
