My reason for asking is that I am trying to stay within a certain SCCA ruleset as follows:

13.10 ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN
A. The engine air filter element may be removed or replaced provided
the air flow path remains as originally designed (i.e., no additional
openings). No other components of the air induction system may be
removed, replaced, or modified.

Sounds like a DS Type R issue.

Maybe it is on there as a backup because of the crappy airbox latches and filter setup. I am not too impressed with the way the airbox/filter system are designed as compared to my older toyotas. The Yaris has a clam shell design with the two latches that just doesn't seem secure. After I bought mine, I actually discovered that one latch was not in the closed position and the airbox was partially cracked open.

I am glad the other filter was there.

Also, the latches secure in the opposite direction from on another and I guess the last person to put in the filter wasn't paying attention because I admit it is not intuitive. I had to sort of fight with mine to get it closed when I put in the new filter.
