Debatable.

I run the stock box because it looks better and it won't be sucking in (as much) hot air, whereas a pod filter does.
Really,on an engine only kicking out about 45 hp what's it matter?

Tighten up the clamp.

That filter fell off so many bloody times straight after I put it on because I didn't have it on square and done up tight enough.

It's a crap to do up properly, but once it's done it won't fall off.

And, that car runs better with that filter.

What sort of clamp is it?

Odd as it may seem, if the clamp is too wide it could be helping the thing come off.
:?

I reckon a narrower clamp would solve the problem.
