The air box looks cheap. The rest of the piping is all polished, and the air box looks like a cast piece (even though it isnt, but it looks all roughed up in the picture).
I think the airbox looks like that is because they have it wrapped in a heat shield. It looks all wavy and cast because that's just the foldable/cuttable kind.
And i think it's probably not necessary because a paper filter isnt' going to become very heatsoakd anyways.
But I'm sure the actual box is probably just welded pieces of thin sheetmetal, if you remove and polish it would look awesome, but I would probably leave the heatshielding on.
