Corsa's have flat spots engineered into them by the factory. People confuse "flat spots" with cars that are generally shite.


flat spots are noramly in area;s where you cruise at speed eg 30mph, 70mph. they are there for fuel econamy

seriously? dude, extending the length of the inlet tract by that much probably wont help performance much at all. Let the air come to the filter, not the other way around. Also, it would get a whole lotta crap on it and you would be forever cleaning it in the dump that is the UK

why do you need to extend the pipes :boggle:

an induction kit replaces your airbox just bolts straight on

induction kit is a replacement air box basically and will cost twice as much

on a corsa neither will make much difference unless added with lots of other parts


£45 for a K&N. £30 for a Pipercross.

When you say "much difference" I'm assuming you're on about power... because an induction kit on the Corsa certainly improves throttle response and gives a nice induction note.

induction kit is a pod shaped foam or cotton construction through which air passes to reach the inlet. air filter sits in the normal filter box housing
