my mate want's to take off the induction kit on his car and put a standard airbox back on

If it's a mk2 ph1 172 no it won't.

The MK1 172 airbox is different to the Mk2 172 and 182 airbox. The Mk1 airbox is a cylinder shape.

his car is a x reg?? are you able to tell from that?

they are different in standard form, BUT cant see why it wont fit with some jiggery, brackets and mounts will be different mind. Also if its to sell, a potential buyer might realise?

The airbox will fit. It may require a phase 2/182 inlet elbow as they don't kick back in the same way a phase 1 item does. The relevant mountings may not be present either.

I personally would sell the phase 2/182 airbox and find a phase 1 item as it is a better design. I have a phase 1 item on my phase 2 and have noticed a big difference in pick up and mid-range.
