I have disconnected the air intake pipe from the air filter box will this bring more air into the filter system and make the engine run and sound nicer?

If your airbox is not at the front of the car it will just suck in hot air, less dense, less oxygen, car goes slower, may make a louder noise but car will probably go slower, consider just attatching a forced ar tube to it from the front of your car where the intake originally attatched, then cold air is forced down into it, maybe just fit a cheap induction kit if u just want the engine to make a loud noise. i reccommend the apiro stainless steel ones, they make a lovely metallic sound. but make sure they fit under your bonnet, they are quite big, try to find a way to keep it cold withouttoo many expensive pipes.

I have disconnected the pipe running from my front fender to the air filter box on a Corsa B. where is the best place to fit a tube to maximise COLD air intake?
For any cold air intake system the filter should be as close to the ground as possible. This allows the air to be scooped up and remain cool before entering the engine. The front passenger wheel weld is the most common place to install a cold air intake.
