what is it?

is it a restriction?

I've wondered the same thing...

Its one of either two

1. Its a type of dust/partical collector that catches left overs that dont get stuck into the panel filter.

2. Its to reduce induction noise?? Or both

I'd be curious to know there exact use also.

if its foam then rip it out. its just noise insulation. same on r33's

[FATAZZ]

anyone else have an opinion???

otherwise ill just rip it out.

I've got 2 x standard air boxes, and one's got the foam and the other doesn't.

Drove with both, and there is no difference..

That being said, its in there for a reason so it must do something
