That would add even more bhp, you would probally be looking at kicking a 2.0 turbo with nos with that on

Can still buy them.
Pipercross XL kits.
PK037XL and PK191XL (Corsa B and Corsa C respectively). Not as cheap any more as BFO cones used to be because PVD bought them 20 at a time...

How do quantify the "sound" of an induction kit?
Vauxhall don't recommend ANY induction kit, maybe your local dealer does but I'd be surprised if they honoured any warranty on the engine if you fitted an aftermarket filter.
The aftermarket parts industry is the dealers get out clause when it comes to warranty claims.

So they're charging £20 for fitting???? It's a 2 minute job to fit these to the car.
Your Vauxhall dealer is obviously taking people for a ride. Sounds like your friend hopped on board.

I can say Toby is a top bloke, ordered a piper backbox through him but i tailpipe was dented, however i got a new one within a week and a courier is being arranged to collect the exhaust thats dented, i have also bought some FK stuff from him very very cheap

Depends what OE. We've had recent tests back where paper elements were only 96% efficient. Ours were 2% better at filtration and recorded less of a drop in pressure with nearly double the dust load

Rubber neck or alloy neck? Rubber neck filters tend to sound a bit wank.
