you wont get much sound at all from drilling the airbox because of the way the inlet plenum is designed.

you will get a deeper throatier sound maybe, but will never sound like a 16v corsa engine with the same mods.

don't know mate cos i bought i off here. i think the bfo fits all engines except the gsi mate cos the pipe diameteris different on the gsi's. recommend the bfo though mate its huge. when first fitted it kept hitting my bonnet

yeah they are mate and they sound awesome. my mate had a piperx on his 1.4 sport and im not saying my 1.2 8v with its bfo sounded better but it sounded just as good. It makes the engine note so much deeper mate. Engine struggles in summer with hot weather but now its cold it performs alot better
