But I allowed myself to broaden the matter if I do not spoil this thread, with all kinds of boxes & filters.
Anyway to begin with is there any difference between a 190 air box as told by @rab60bit and the V6 2.5 177/180 air box?

The 190 airbox (and filter) is the same animal as the standard 2.5 airbox but post filter is a bigger outlet and the shannon tube is 90mm diameter (vs 80mm, I think that = +26% volume) and the shannon tube front end is an entirely different design - bit like a big plenum chamber facing the ambient air instead of a small vertical orieneted inverted ram tube.
For me that means quite a bit more air intake volume. I believe the 190 has hotter inlet cams which probably benefit from the increase of intake air - and there's no such thing as a free dinner, so higher fuel consumption for a snappier performance from a 190.
The 190 exhaust appears to be the same as the 177 2.5 version so - does it seem reasonable to expect perhaps 180-183ps by just getting more air into the mix?
