Cool great pic!, do you know if thats the same if it's in a 1.6 16v ecotech engine, as it does look as easy to remove on my engine (haven't looked at it for about a week...

Does it make much difference? I would think it would make a difference to the sound and maybe the performance slightly as the air resivoir would heat the air up slightly. may hve to give it a go, how did you block it off?

big diff too noise... that empty box is like a silencer...

i went too the srappy and get a stright hose of another corsa too replace the branched 1... and went down too my local plumbers and got a wastepipe plug and superglued it on (u dont need too plug it as its a selaed box. but it looks nicer if u do

here it is on a c16xe, its not a flexi type pipe all the way to the tb, the rigid part is a slag to get to, inlet manifold needs to come off
