ecotek valve...worth it!





keep hearing mixed views, are they a must have or a pile of dog turd? help me out. also, are viper inductions kits worth the cash?
 


I think most people will tell you the ecotek is a pile of sh!t!

As for the Viper, only you can say whether your prepared to shell out 250 notes for one. It will increase power a bit, and give a nice noise. I will getting one myself soon. They are one of the best IKs on the market IMO.

Ive got an Ecotek that I had on my last car, which cost me nothing so I gave it a go...

Did nothing to fuel economy, did nothing to power, just made a stupid noise, so I took it off and it aint going on the Cup!

Trust me, Ive actually tried one, so dont waste your money. :sick:



As for the Viper, Ive got one coming for my Cup! ;)
 


Ref: The viper, I have been told they make the smallest increase or difference in noise of any induction kit because they are completely sealed?

Anyone heard one can fill me in?

I used to have the Viper on my VTS, I noticed a decent increase in torque once the car got moving, I was pretty disapointed by the noise it made, it was quite, I also had a problem with the cold air feed pipe keep splitting and they were pretty expensive to keep replacing.

It did look good in the engine bay though.
 


everybody goes for noise :p hows about u have yourself a street sleeper. ppl gonno be more impressed by a quiet car that sounds standard kicking their ass then some car screaming at em sounding like its giving all its got and gonno blow.

i.e. the 1.2 novas that go around my area with 4inch exhuasts and induction kits - it might sound like its going fast but really they still only doing 40 mph however much noise they make.
