You can route the air to your airbox from anywhere you want, BUT you cannot
cut holes in other parts or remove other parts to do it.  So, for example,
you can extend a tube from the front of the airbox to behind the foglamps,
BUT you cannot remove the foglamps.  You can route the tube down to the
brake duct, BUT you cannot cut a hole into the brake duct (or use a Euro-part
with such a hole, as is often done illegally).

Make sense?
