The 3" looks perfect 4" is too big mate

got all the original air box back in with the k&n filter and it only took about 15 minutes to get back in. it still sounds awesome and i believe its improved the mpg as well. and ragarding the exhaust.....ive got a straight through 3.5 and i dont think id want to have it any bigger. its VERY loud and any bigger i think it would look a bit silly. you would be going into impreza territory with a 4 ich tip

did you modify the air box in any way ? drill holes etc ?

nope, i just left it. its probably better for the engine just to put the filter in and leave the box as is

and what air filter you go for ? as i was gona get an induction kit just so it looks more sporty when you lift the bonnet.

i didnt have a great deal of money at the time so i went for a cheap one off ebay. i will send you a link. they best thing was the colour, as i have a red car it was nice to lift up the bonnet and its got a nice chrome red filter the link is a blue one

Yea was looking at that one, but thats induction kit. you were saying the K&N standard panel filter works better tho right ? rectangle in shape fits the standard air box ?

yeah the panel filter is probably better for the engine if its a small one, if you have a 1.4+ an induction kit would probably improve performance more. its good for mine because its only a 1.0 12v. they are on ebay for around £30

Il have to get one when I do up the engine.

they are worth it, best to have a look around, would be nice to get a blue one to match your car (Y)

Bit of bad news I wrote my car off not long ago
But on the bright side i've now got a 1.0 3 door corsa B instead of 5 door
I'm staying faithful
And i'm taking in all the advice i'm getting a 3' back box and a pannel filter straight away
thats the right thing to do right?

sorry to hear about your old car :/ glad your sticking with a corsa though

yeah a panel filter would be best for a 1.0 as cone filters would probably suck in too much air.
as for the back box, depending on money, id go with a 3' Sportex one for performance, i think they are around £90 on ebay.
The one i got was only £40ish and it just makes it really loud, doesnt made it any quicker imo. If you want one that sounds good go with one like mine, its a 3.5' straight through, so it has no baffles in the backbox.
