Alright
I want a little more power. Is it really worth payin £200 for Viper or would a simple panelfilter do the job just as good for £25?
1.2 Corsa Sxi 2004 model
(only mod so far Cat-back Stainless Sebring)
Also... actual data of bhp increase for this engine would be good too
Cheers

I have a drilled airbox and it is much better than my Piper X induction kit ever was. There are no flat spots anymore and the engine feels alot smoother. It still has a nice induction roar as well. I ripped all the tubes out that where on the inside of the airbox and ran a cold airfeed from the lower grill directly into it.
A Viper filter would work better than a drilled airbox but its not worth it on a 1.2.
1. Viper - £200+
2. K&N element filter - £25-£30.

I would personally say get a element filter as bhp increase to cost probably isnt that different. Plus you can spend the money saved on getting your windows done or summit 
Mine look class by the way. First time I saw them in the light today
