I was wondering what air filter setup everyone has on their XE'd Corsa.

I've got a green cone filter and want to change it so need some ideas:

I've got no pictures, hope mantmark doesn't mind me using one of his from the track slag thread in general chat, it's the same one I'm pretty sure:



Only my pipework is a bit of flexi pipe going straight onto a bit of rubber hose to house the air temp sensor > AFM > ecotec pipe.

Do any of you running a cone filter have the usual XE problems of the engine jerking under 2k rpm?

Between the MAF sensor and filter there is another sensor, does anyone know what its for?

Also, the people with a silicone hose or metal pipe, did you make a new hole for this sensor?
