hi. ive got a 1.0 corsa c.  i like it and i know there is no point doining anything drastic but.. i want an induction kit (pipercross if possible) and an exhaust.. but i dont know where to get them from. ive been thinking customised powerflow for the exhaust.(open to opinions).. but ive been told a 1.2 induction kit will fit my baby. is this true.. if not where can i get an induction kit from, whats the best.. not really bothered about cost as long as its not to stoopid.. it is only a 1.0.. thanks to whoever can be arsed to read or reply..

Well i would say  to powerflow. I ahve one on my 1.2 8v and it sounds great. The induction kit could be bought @ Halfords or any other Kev shop in your area. C.A.R, R-Tec, Extreme, PVD (get the BFO cone) there are loads about mate. piper and PVD are the loud ones. K&N is more for performance. (still sounds good tho)

Yeah I am sure they do it for a 1.0. Have a look on K&N's website to see if they do, if they do then its a good bet PiperX do aswell.
Regarding exhaust, all depends how much money you got. Powerflow install would be about £350ish, where as you could just get a back box for about £140. Just back box will give you sound and little performance where as a powerflow setup should give a noticable improvement if done quickly.

I would advise against powerflow.
Cheap materials and poor quality. Although it does vary from franchise to franchise.
I would just get a back box from a decent company like magnex or mongoose as you aint going to see any performance gain anyway.

Dun worry bout it being a 1.0 mate 
get a powerflow if you want looks....if its on a corsa c then get a nice 3 or 4 inch round either side, shud still sound ok.
Iduction kit, speak to pvd...BFO's are kewl

they both giv out better perofrmance gains than k+n and pipercross, and giv a very very unique sound from them bein made from soft stainless steel
