BTW if your engine has a Siemens SimTec ECU, you will not be able to reset the ECU like you can on engines with Multec/Motronic ECUs. The only way it can be reset is by Tech2 at Vauxhall. | |

The engine in my old Corsa was actually a 1.2 16v, hence why there was lots of room! | |

DAVE....... On the pic its a K&N not the BFO.... I have the BFO too an i am struggling to sort a cold air feed as it fills up the whole gap left by the airbox, may jus go back to panel filter an drilled airbox... If u drill it properly an get a K&N panel filter it sounds nearly the same as the BFO.. | |

i think you sxi owners should drill your standard boxes instead, cause the sound you get outa an induction kit is really crap. | |

Well i've got the BFO and a sebring backbox, you can't really hear the shitty buzz noise of the engine anymore. I'm getting the centre section for my exhaust soon hopefully so it'll be even louder | |

deep ...it was...but a constant tone just getting louder as revs increased. I thought a induction kits was meant to give an induction 'roar'. | |

You will get a flat spot because hot air is being drawn in. Only thing you can do is get some tubing going to the cone from the front of the car, similar to what I used to have on my old Corsa, with a K&N cone filter: | |
