hey
i have a problem. i want an induction kit for my corsa SRi but cant decide on which one, the new PVD BFO cone or the K&n 57i?
the arguments are: the BFO is new, and therefore not many people will have it, it is also huge and therefore cool. but the K&N is the trusted make that i have heard delivers lots of sound with power.

can anyone help me make up my mind?

I'd go for the BFO personally - I've got one on my Corsa and it sounds superb, especially on acceleration btwn 3-4000rpm

the theory for increasing performance is there mate, whether its noticeable or not is a different issue. not heard of anyone going on a rolling road before and after getting one fitted with nothing else changed, might be interesting tho.....or not

Drill your airbox and fit a K&N panel filter to it, will sound just as good and cost you £20, leaving money to be spent on other stuff!
