we heard u the first time

I've drilled my air box and have a piperx panel filter in my 1.6 sport and it doesn't improve performance but the throttle is more responsive don't see how u'd lose bhp!

U lose power from the hot air getting into the open air induction kit, drilled box with panel filter and perhaps more cold air feed's to box seem's to be the best option.

Vibs is rite (for a change ) It's ya own opinion that counts mate

But open air induction kits on corsa's aren't good coz they're reknown for getting hot n muggy under the bonnet...maybe if ya got it heat-shielded it wud make a diff but a drilled air-box is a far better option..and like £40 cheaper
