Any experience of the R3 carbon airbox?

[Salvi139]

I'm looking to purchase the carbon airbox for my 197, so I was wondering if any owners have (or have previously had) one of these airboxes. If so, the primary question I want to ask is how much does it enhance the sound? Ive seen all the exhaust systems that there are, and they just don't sound good to me. But when I came across this video on YouTube of a Clio with an R3 box, I was bewitched. And that car was seriously loud, which I quite like. So, does the R3 airbox really make the 197 sound like this, or do you guys reckon this car has other modifications to make it sound the way it does? Sorry for the long post. And here's the video:

R3 for 197 with relocating overflow coolant tank
V6 for 197 and 200 with custom air feed

Check Clio 3RS with V6 box plus KTR exhaust manifold, KTR high-flow cat, KTR sport exhaust system with resonator

That’s not what it says in the start of the video.

From what I know Thommy's Clio (the black one) had full R3 induction, manifold and exhaust in the end. Before it was an R3/Akra mix.
