ive got a peco back box and instead of buyin a full system is there any major diff in sound beetween other boxes?
or has anyone had a peco 1 then changed to another box?
also ive got a cheap 20 quid max power induction filter is it worth gettin a pipecross on a 1.2 8valve will it sound or go alot better than the filter ive got
please help as its test day nxt week and want it sorted
cheers

may be a little difference in sound with the backbox, filter will probaby sound the same, I think them max power filters can go rusty too, you won't notice any power change

Cheap 20 filter? Doesnt sound good does it. I very much doubt an induction will help you with this engine anyway.

Stick with the Peco back box for now you wont see a great difference in sound if you just change the backbox IMHO... See how it goes on the test if it passes with flying colours (assuming your talkign about MOT as i cant see anyone puttin a 1.2 8v on the rollers  ) take your centre section out cut the ox and put some pipe in it's place if you dont want to spend the cash on a full system!
I Dont like Induction kits so i cant really comment i'd rather run with an airbox and K&N panel filter

I had a Peco backbox together with a K&N 57i induction kit on my 1.2 8v! Cant say much/if any power increase but it certainly sounded good!

in that case tony, Take your centre section out, cut the middle box out and replace with a bit of piping weld it into place and rehang Start her up and the Peco should be a little bit louder 
Cheapest way to do it.. Still cant comment on induction kits I've had and Came across a lot of bother with them...
i had one on my Corsa K&N 57i and the car had a flatspot between 2k-3k revs it didnt want to go anywhere..
Other problems i've heard is Mainly with Mk4 astras! they dont agree with induction kits and tend to shit themselves!

yeh removing the middle silencer (replacing with a straight through pipe) - will make it much louder.
Though whether you want your car looking like a boy racer car for your driving test I don't know. I would also suggest you don't wear a burbery cap. Otherwise you may fail before you start the car

when i took my induction kit off my 1.2 8v, the only difference i noticed was
1, less fuel consumed
2, less noise
3, slower form 80-90
and thats it

yes Middle Silence...
Paul Removing the Middle Silencer doesnt make it too much louder but gives the pecos a bit more depth and tone to them! It wont be like a Powerflow thats loud as f*ck but it will sound better than a Peco shoved onto a standard system
