Hi Peeps.
Someone pointed out that my car is so poo (1.2 8v corsa) it's not worth getting a decent induction kit, so i am going to just get a dead cheap one for the sound of them mainly, am stuck between 2, was hopeing somebody could advice me on which one would make the nicer sound. I realise they are the pooest induction kit's, ever, but i have bollocks all moneys im not that bothered, as it's only £10

Advice would be greatly appreciated 
Cheers.
Rich.

Leave it standard. waste of time and effort doing air mods to a 1.2 8v
Plus, you can't hear a induction kit on a 1.2 8v really.

well, i drilled out my air box a while back, and it sounds nice so i figured if i actually got a better air filter it would sound better... and not just like i have drilled out the air box..

Get the first one, a nob head friend has one on a 1.4 8v 5 door (no other mods) and it sounds beefy and it doesnt flat spot either at low revs!

I have to agree - i got a K&N for my 1.2 16v and it was a waste of time and money - didnt even make any difference to the sound at all

I had a K&N on my 1.2 16 valve and it didnt really effect the sound until bout 3k or 4k revs. It made a bit of a sound, and i thought it sounded nice and not overdone.

Thats kinda what im after.. this is the first thing i have done to my car.. except t-cut, and de-badge.. but that doesnt really count, so i dont want it to be stupidly loud like little japped up car's.. just to sound nicer

Woah, that looks dead nice! dont really know anyhting about air filters, but yea..  not really looking to spend that much tbh.. seems a little pointless for a 1.2 imo.
Ordered the air filter (the red one) only £10 Yeay!
