but it comes with this warning:
WARNING: This product is made for track usage only and is not intended by the manufacturer for use on public streets or highway.

might have slightly less filter material than a street one as there is going to be a lot less debris

theres no such thing as an illegal air filter stevo! its just designed for track use, so probably skimps on filtration a bit to get better air flow

not too woried about "hot summer air" not in england anyway 
Yeah adam i heard ya the first time . Its a good sealed box (just like a panel filter ) So wont make too much difference with heat etc... but should make some performance differences

sealed box will be better than a panel filter as the filter in the sealed box will allow much air to flow through it
i tried a std airbox with panel filter on my clio and it choked mid range to top end even compared to an open filter
the sealed kit i tried was much more responsive throughout the range
