Actually, apart from sucking unfiltered air, there is a more serious issue....Unmetered air. An air leak after the MAF can potentiallty lean out the engine. Luckily there's less chance on these due to wide band EGO's however Load calculations are also effected.It might allow a little extra air in but the effect will be negligible. Really you just can't leave the hole open to suck unfiltered air into the engine. Obvious choice is to blank it off but adding a little filter like this will also achieve the same result ie stop it from ingesting dirt.
Did it fit snug ? If so that's a huge help.this is what i used for the firewall hole ( supercheap )
Yes, didn't realise the MAF was before where the sound tube connects. Don't have my car yet. Solid cap is the better option IMO.Actually, apart from sucking unfiltered air, there is a more serious issue....Unmetered air. An air leak after the MAF can potentiallty lean out the engine.

Yes the MAF is right after the airbox. They won't put other tubes before it because it will create turbulence that can stuff up the readings.Yes, didn't realise the MAF was before where the sound tube connects. Don't have my car yet. Solid cap is the better option IMO.
Nope, been daily driving the Corsa Xtreme for 5 months. If you don't drive like a dick all the time it's fine, you can keep it reasonable at low revs. Having said that, I built myself a couple of DIY mufflers to drop the volume on cold start, so I don't piss off my new neighbours.Has anyone had any problems with EAP and loud exhausts? It seems like even mild systems raise the volume to be close to or over the limit so I was wondering if this is a theoretical problem or a real one.

Sounds great. It has a nice growl when you give it a few revs but not over the top. Sounds good when you start it and it gives a nice note at idle just a little louder than stock.hows the sound? I've been planning on this system as the others are too raspy for me
What sort of price landed in oz?After much procrastination thinking about S type Borla axle backs and then putting the order on hold, today I ordered and paid Fred from Vogtland for a Borla full touring cat back system.
Got a great deal and great advice, recommend him for anyone considering a Borla system.
I can second that. I spoke to Fred a few weeks ago about the Borla Atak cat back and then thought about it for a bit, rang him back and had another chat about it, thought some more about it before getting lucky enough to sit passenger in an S550 with the Atak fitted and that confirmed it for me. I ordered it from him straight away, the next day I had a pic of the box on its way to me. He was so helpful with all my questions and always happy to help, I couldn't recommend him.highly enough.After much procrastination thinking about S type Borla axle backs and then putting the order on hold, today I ordered and paid Fred from Vogtland for a Borla full touring cat back system.
