Top one is standard intake route, lower one is alternative aftermarket setup.

Would the 2nd one not have something to do with the fact it's in a Corsa?

go and look at a 2.2 engine and get back to me
i know there isnt an airbox, but its a 2.2 set up, which will have had a 2.2 airbox on it to start with
