induction kit won't help acceleration at all. will most likely slow you down with flat spots.

dont get an induction kit for performance if you want more noise get it. BUT you are better off drilling your crrent airbox and fitting a KN panel filter

I have a Impreza STI with the standard box on rather than an induction kit, so what do you think is best for a 1.4 corsa?

IF you insisted on getting an induction kit, just make sure it's an enclosed one at least. Still pointless, but at least you won't suffer major heat-soak like those ghey BFO things.

Some people will say yes, most will say no.

Best advice for a corsa is a performance panel filter and drill the bottom of the airbox for the "induction grunt".

Like everyone says, don't waste your money on it, put towards a new car. They can cause problems, if you want to do something, do as above and get a panel filter/ drill the airbox
