Default Need a S type R stock air filter box. Is it different than a s type 4.0 one?

My car came with a hot air intake and I'm looking to go back to stock. All I see on ebay are the 4.0 ones. Is there a difference between the two? Also, anyone know of a person or place with a stock airbox for sale?

They're different. You need an R one.

It'll be where the stock box is removed and the intake gets air from inside the engine bay (through an air filter). Reduces power (due to the heat), though the usual intention is to increase power.

It makes money for those selling them but it is a bad idea to fit one because as I said it pulls in hotter air than outside air, which is the very thing you do not want to do.
