made it fit now m8 was as SRi Ghost said as we sorted the problem out together the universal induction kit that was on my car when i got it had squashed the pipe! was 1 of the 1s with the O ring adapters - BEWARE! Also i noticed a hell of a lot of flat spots with the universal kit where as with the Pipercross 1 theres not problems and ive not yet fitted a cold air intake! | |

my mate had this problem too. he had a universal induction kit on for about six months and then upgraded to a piperx, the cheap universal filter crushed the tube. try attaching a standard air filter for a week and this should stretch the pipe enough for your piperx. Worked for my mate anyway! | |

it says on the box 1.2/1.6 16V but as it didnt fit i checked the part number on there website and even the instructions say its for a 1.6. told one of the blokes in halfords where i got it from and he says oh its probibly a diffrent engine shows he doesnt know his stuff. i was thinking though would it be a good idea to get a smaller bit of tubing like you get with the K&N filters to make it fit or keep the standard airbox and get a filter for it? because it makes my mates sound like a scooby with his back box! | |

Strange one that. It would appear that PK 037 may actually exclude C16 and X16. | |

thing is though its the PK 037 which is for all corsa b's excluding the c16xe engine. mines a sport 1.6 so its a x16xe engine and the pipe on my car is smaller than my mates ans hes got an SRi 1.4 x14xe engine and it fits fine. i just cant understand why the 1.6 pipe is smaller than the 1.4 surley they should be the same size if not the 1.6 bigger | |

IIRC some 1.6 engine intakes differ in diameter from the other vaux engines. You need to make sure you have the filter specific to your car. | |

Hi ive brought a piperX induction kit for my car (Sport 1.6 16V) and came to fit it and its suppost to fit into the existing pipe but it wont. measured bout pipes (The 1 from my car and the induction pipe) and the both the same size. I tried it on my m8s SRi 1.4 16v and it slides into his pipe on his car no problem so we measured his pipe compaired to mine and his is a whole 1cm bigger than mine!!??? how can this be?? |
