   Hi all,
   
   People are removing the foam insert from their OEM air boxes.
   
   Is there a proven reason for this?
   
   Cheers

   Dont think 265 had this foam, pretty sure it was only 250 that had the foam

    Its ok, i heard rumours that renault removed it on the 265 to help make it sound better. Obviously they were wrong.

    Only thing I can hear different is increased turbo spooling perhaps. We're talking tiny difference though.
