Default Air box differences

Can't seem to find an answer on this online so I wonder if you chaps can help...is there any difference between the 3dr (not rs500) and 2wd or 4x4 Saphire standard ford air filter boxes?

Thanks in advance!

Ah thanks for that, I did think they were hence my original question but just assumed I may have been wrong! I'm after one for my 3 door but they seem v hard to track down. Do you know of a 2wd or 4x4 now can be made to fit? Perhaps using a 4x4 cooler?

Just don't bother with the pipe? Cut the front out of the lower and fit a performance filter. I'm sure the lids are all the same so your breather pipes etc will mate up fine.
