Hey Gaz,
You're right about pods but what Richard didn't explain was that the adapters in the photo were designed by Ivan to overcome the issues you mentioned. Their length is tuned to correct the inlet resonance issues that mess with the jetting.
That said, they offer no performance benefits over the modified OE airbox/filter combination that work so well with Ivan's MB jet kit (aka The Full Monty). Ivan developed and marketed the pods option for the US market, where there was a demand based on looks alone. Other tuners offered pods to go with their jet kits but none took the trouble to resolve the resonance problem. Ivan wouldn't sell anything that didn't work properly and he probably made a loss on these just to show how it should have been done.
Cheers!
PS. Richard is also using the specially pleated K&N filters which have been folded to a precise angle to complement Ivan's intakes.

I wasn't aware Ivan had R&D'd pod filters & mounts.
