Anyone gone from Pipercross Viper back to standard?

[CupDude]

Notice any difference?

Bought the car with the Vip and not sure if it's making any difference at all..

Not set up particularly well either.. the CAF is pointing at the Vip rather than being connected and isn't getting much air.

Loose the viper it will almost certainly be loosing you power.

Standard box, panel filter, remove acoustic valve.

I had one.

Went back to standard, much better and saved me like £80.

No brainer

standard or v6 airbox mate. don't bother with the expensive stuff on the market. Make no difference on the clios

i also have a viper induction kit, i have removed the acoustic valve and placed the caf where the acoustic valve was, if i was to go back to standard with a itg panel filter would i use all the original/standard air feed pipes? i know 1 of them connects to the acoustic valve and has a connection on the end to do so, how would i go about this??

I had a Viper years back, loved it but it was set up right. Far better than the stock ph1 box imo.

I bought mine with one on, enjoyed it for a few days then changed to standard box with ITG panel and acoustic valve removed. Car runs alot better in my opinion.....

 

[Warbz1989]

when you replace the viper with the existing airbox + ITG Filter do you use the original air feed pipes??

 

[davo172]

Std airbox and jetex panel filter all day long IMO

 

[Warbz1989]

using all the standard air intake pipes from the standard airbox?? theres 2 coming from the airbox to the acoustic valve

 

[Plummer]

What are peoples views on enclosed induction kits with CAFs?

 

[nick.]

silly question but whats the acoustic valve?

Something to do with noise limit or seomthing?

theres 1 feed from the box to valve, and then 1 feed from box to infront of the battery bay. Thats all you need.

Acoustic valve is some pointless valve at the end of one of the cafs to reduce the noise below a certain rpm.

The thread stickied in this section shows you're better off going back to standard.

Coincidence it's one of the more expensive setups they sell....
