£45!?!? wtf? Where the hell are you buying your panel filters from :lol: The rrp on a Pipercross panel is only £32.99. Sounds like you\'re buying some Green or K&N poo :shock:

i had a k+n on my 1.4 engine and it sounded nice, also never had any problems, think i paid £60ish for it, was a while back now.

whatever you do dont buy a greenstuff induction kit, they are cheap for a reason, as ive discovered...... i didnt choose it, it came with the engine kit :wink:

To be fair to Green, you didn\'t have an induction kit with the engine kit - it was just a cheap universal rubber neck cone.
I\'d imagine (hope) their full kits would be a little better... (unlikely)

That\'s the problem with making cheap products - you might gain a sale that a competitors product would have had, but when the customer is unhappy with the product, they\'ll never buy that brand again.

No need when a PK090 fits the Corsa with an XE.

There might be a Corsa with XE VIS kit shortly though...

Pippercross, K&n, Green cotton air and S-spec are all the same, just look different. My mate brought his pannel filter for $45, and yes it is K&n.

Nearly brought it for £35, didint realise some of them are £32.99 brand new :lol:
