i always wanted to know that too nik. But no one cares

i think morettes would be lighter, especially with a lense removed

the main problem with filters on throttle bodied engines is that the material soak up the heat and its difficult to keep them cool. an airbox protects them from the heat and allows you to vent air into it from another area on the car like AK is doing with removing the headlight for a cold air feed.

but... the pipercross airboxes collapse under load (or marks did anyway) and it restricts the power. marks car made more power with a dome filter than with the airbox on it.

yes.

push it with your hand, it bends.....

they might have changed the design though, but it was restricting the power output by sucking in and giving a smaller internal volume

also, the neck isnt wide enough really, it needs to be a fair bit bigger.
