Default EF airbox in EA

Ive got a EF Airbox here and ive been offered a K&N Pod filter cheap.

Now I currently have the stock EA-ED airbox with stock filter and XH snorkle.
Will i get ANY gains out of using the EF airbox with the XH snorkle and K&N pod filter? (or will it be another one of those '****' factors)

Also How do you do this? I know Dellboy did this but I cant remember how he modified the lid to suit.

Thanks guys :dj:

i think he blocked off the normal opening with a piece of plastic and cut the new one where the XH snorkel fits

Is yours in an airbox or just floating around in the engine bay?? If not in a box than that's why you've lost power...

i found that when i had my pod open in the engine bay, top end was all good, but it lost a fair bit down low.
with the box over it again, its much nicer down low, can't tell much difference uptop.
