NSW is quite a bit more strict, the RTA states pod filters should be avoided due to noise and emission changes, It has to be solid mounted and enclosed.

Not sure if you are familiar with the po up this way but a big pod in the middle of the engine bay will unfortuantly have you fined/defected and sent to EPA for clearance if you are unlucky. even the completely hidden/sealed in-gaurd WRX systems have been defected.
