think its was a k&n typoon, cheaper versions about though mate.
failing that just get a k&n panel filter for your current box. not as good but better than standard
#5: Re: Help air filter Author: MutilateTheDead, Location: DerbyPosted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 2:13 pm ---- Ram air filter FTW sounds beefy! But everyone on here will say K&N
#6: Re: Help air filter Author: Seabook, Posted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 2:20 pm ---- foam filter is the worse choices, it will simply break into piece over time.
#7: Re: Help air filter Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 2:31 pm ---- pipercross viper induction kit with a good feed ftw
#8: Re: Help air filter Author: Didz, Location: UK, Isle of ManPosted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 2:37 pm ---- looks like the one i got matey
like i said there are cheaper alternatives, the viper is also good.
#9: Re: Help air filter Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 2:54 pm ---- Sparco have just developed an insane one!! Universal but it's an awesome pei e of kit pluss no matter what anyone says the Bmc cda and pipercross viper are universal lol
#10: Re: Help air filter Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 3:52 pm ---- im sorry but how is the pipercross viper universal when you have to tell them the specific car model and make it is going on? there maybe is a universal model but i wouldnt of thought the ones you specify make and model would be
thats just what i thought though, although i thought the venom was basically meant to be a universal version of the viper
oh well you learn something new everyday.......
and what makes the sparco one so special i aint seen or heard nothing about it yet?
#11: Re: Help air filter Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 4:03 pm ---- well yeah because the size of the pipes vary from car to car but if u put two together made for similar power cars there going to be identical all pipercross will do is have different fitments made up and they probably have various different size ones for different power cars.....
there's nothing special about the Sparco one but Sparco are trying to break into the tuning world, i.e wheels brakes, induction kits as well as all there other little Halfords stick on things and have been developing there own induction kit....it looks very nice.... il tell you how i get on when i get mine cant hurt if the cold air feed is set up right..... and its got to be better than the little piece of foam that pipercross sold me
#12: Re: Help air filter Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 4:14 pm ---- fair one you may be right there but im sure that by what you say it means they are still not really universal are they
as for the sparco one i just took your first thread as it being something special as you exclaimed it was "insane"
cant say id be too interested in a sparco atm im rather happy with my pipercross viper it works beautifully with a good feed going to it
also sparco trying to break into the tuning world doesnt interest me much in most cases companys only do certain parts for reasons cause thats what there good at so i wont be holding high hopes for anything special by them but thats just my two pence worth
also on another note i wouldnt go for a k&n, dont like the look of all that metal piping my cold air is going to be going up seen as though that metal will get hot in the engine bay and its more just a filter on some piping than induction induction i thought was an enclosed filter in a housing with piping leading to a cold air ram
whats wrong with your pipercross anyway kingdom?
is it the viper you got cause i aint had a problem or do you mean its not putting out enough power or something?
#13: Re: Help air filter Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 4:26 pm ---- No it's just the normal filter no cold air feed, at the time I bought it for noise but I can't imaggine many gains from the 180 engine with any kit lol
if you mean this sparco air filter they are made by green.
i think is call nano/ storm induction kit stn like that

sparco is just like omp......
i really doubt if any one would use a omp brake disc, omp brake pad or omp clutch lol
#16: Re: Help air filter Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 4:36 pm ---- seabook i know they make good stuff and are just like omp, but what im saying is i dont see them breaking through into more generic tuning parts for example induction kits
i thought they were more rally/race orientated
#17: Re: Help air filter Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 4:37 pm ---- well in my own personal opinion i would go with the viper its an excellent piece of kit and well worth the money and still cheaper than k&n
and yeah i dont think any of them give you any gains really but they all claim to, probably 1bhp at most
oh and have fun when taking the old air feed out i know i did
#18: Re: Help air filter Author: Seabook, Posted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 4:39 pm ---- no idea, i just use some cheap ebay filter
#19: Re: Help air filter Author: crossie, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Apr 10, 2011 10:23 am ---- I was looking at my car earlyer and noticed that the one bit is oval so how would i put a circle pipe on or am i just been dump
#20: Re: Help air filter Author: Didz, Location: UK, Isle of ManPosted: Sun Apr 10, 2011 1:30 pm ---- my throttle body cover is oval too, but the silicone hose although round does shape too it.
