Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

Hey guys,

I want to buy a backbox for my 1.0 12v 99 plate corsa. Im probably going to buy one online as they seem to be a lot cheeper and i want to make sure i get the right size.

i was wondering what the size of the pipe is where i would be fitting the new backbox so i dont buy a backbox to big or small.

thanks for any help, its much appreciated

Just buy one that fits straight onto a corsa b, dont buy a universal one as they are more trouble than they are worth

okay buddy would this one be safe to go with?

I'm also looking for a back box for a 1.0
I found this website http://www.aktivperformanceparts.co.uk/ ... 384871.htm
and this is probably where i'll order from?
There designed to fit onto the 1.0 so it should already be the right size
Let me know how you get on as i'll be buying one soon

mine wasnt that hard to fit if im honest. i took it to a friend who works in a local garage and they fitted it in an hour. it just needed a few pipes welded together to get it positioned right. and for £35 or so it's very good value! it sounds very awesome

Can't wait to get mine now

you'll love it! if you've got an induction kit as well it'll be very loud!...which is always good

Link me up to a good induction kit for a 1.0 ?
I'd love it to sound like a beast even though its only a 1.0

you're better of getting a pannel filter for a 1.0 and drilling your air box, as the 1.0's dont like it without the air box the air flow meter goes funny after a while

yeah i think im going to do that soon. the air flow meter was replaced when i got the car about 10 months ago and i dont fancy forking out for a new one again. my car used to get from 50 to 80 no problem but since ive put that on its much slower! only problem is, when i removed the old box the srew/plug broke on the inlet pipe at the front of the car (just above where the grill is fixed). i will probably have to find one of those before doing it all just so its as it should be . would the panel filter and a drilled air box still imporove the noise like an air filter would?

Thank you guys So glad i just checked this before buying parts
If i linked up the parts i'm buying would you guys have a look and make sure i'm getting the right stuff?

there's the links for the back box i'm getting and the air filter panel. Are they the right one's to buy? or can someone reccommend a better one?

Air filter is alright but i wouldnt get that backbox it looks silly... get something more like this

yea that exhaust will look LOADS better, dont get twin exhausts they look weird when you look at the back of a corsa
