I too would like to know. Ive heard good things about this on the Saxo forum and also wonder how it compares to the BMC airbox performance and price wise.

My brother has just fitted a pipercross viper to his Saxo VTR....it makes loads of difference. Its totally sealed, similar to the original air filter, so stops hot air getting in the way and just rams fresh cold air from the front down your engines face. Quietened the beast down as well which is good for my neighbours.

This leads to my question.....does anyone know whether they have brought one out for the Clio 16v yet? The only alternative is the Hill Power Ramair as mentioned in F.A.Q section....looks like it does a similar job.

im gonna test the viper for renault in HK this summer, so i will tell you guys if ya wanna wait. But the hillpower one aint sealed so you only get the cold air at speed, you could seal it yourself with a little bit of fibreglass and a days work......

Do Pipercross make a Viper kit for the Mk2 172?

Ive had a quick look on the Website but no mention of a kit to suit the Mk2.

If anyone knows different can they let me have the part number pleeeeeese as I to have heard astonishing tales of 10-15bhp gains and I NEED one.

Cheers

I spoke to people at www.potn.co.uk, Midland Performance Center and http://www.proven-products.co.uk and they said it is definitely avaiable for tne mk2 172.

£250 delivered.

Will do. Im stint-ish at the moment though as ive just shelled out for the car and insurance (ouch) so it might be next month before i get my power hungry little mitts on the Viper.
