Listen monkey, Induction kits are generally crap on Corsas. The engines run far too hot to be of any use to the inlet system. Warm air=no performance. You need plenty of cold air. PiperX Viper is all about looks im afraid. Drilling your standard airbox and giving it more cold air feeds is the best method IMO, couple this with a high flow panel filter from K&N and you are laughing.

Green twister is a universal sealed cone air filter like the pipercross viper!
There is also a carbon fibre one by another company for £150.
You may have to make a clamp but just a case or buying the hoses and bits and jubilee clipping it all together!
Best to look in the tweeks mag to see if you could make 1 fit!
No higher performance, just cheaper.
But not as cheap as drilling your air box.

You'd be better off to get either a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold or a chip (simply to raise the rev limit) with the money.

I bet wolf doesn't get any better performance than a mod'd airbox and panel filter.


Yep, no difference whatsoever!
Had pipercross cone before and had a prob racing a car the other week as me engine was cooking and had no power off the line!

Due to the airbox pulling off the top of the rad and me airbox no longer fitting, i decided a twister would do the trick!
Drilling the air box and panel filter is one of the high bhp per pound mods you can do along with inlet manifold and de-cat.

hi,
im thinking of getting it too, its meant to be very good as its got a sealed cold air feed which you can place in the grill or bumper or werever u can get it, so only cold air is travelling into the engine, its especially good for the sri or gsi as these engines get hot real quick and so a normal induction kit will just draw in some hot air and affect performance by giving flat spots as you accelerate!
but its a bit pricey at 250quid!
ive seen a new viper2 induction kit, looks Bigger and better!:)
not sure if its available for the corsa tho! but its same price!!!
