I just waked a pipercross panel filter in, aint done nething else but take the ld one out and replace it wi the new one.
OH WAIT! i drilled holes in the air box to give it a kinda induction kit roar, only roars when ya moving tho.

if it's just a filter then go for a K&N one mate. Some people have said that they've noticed their cars get slightly more responsive and they give a better sound.

Induction "roars" are stupid on a Corsa 1.2, I'd much rather just fit a panel filter and listen to the radio.

Stick to foam filters - cotton gauze is a joke and will clog three times faster than foam.

I think you'll find Joff didn't specify any particular brand of foam filter, but yes you're correct in assuming Pipercross - they do manufacture the best triple-laminate foam filters in the UK.
Perform a dust-capacity flow test on a cotton-gauze filter and you'll never choose cotton-gauze again.

If it falls to bits he needs to contact the manufacturer.
Pipercross filters have a lifetime warranty.
