Pipercross any good

[Pithers1.216v]

ive got the 1.2 16v and im going to get an air filter for it soon does the pipercross induction kit sound good on it or does the k&n sound better ?

 

[Bryan]

yes the k&n will sound better

though the k&n has a habit of melting

I got a K&N air filter for free for my Clio and it sounds quality. Dont know about the Pipercross but im well happy with mine.

the pipercross (vector) only produces a slight sucking noise under accelleration, barely audible above the tapping of the 1.2 16v engine

can always get a replacement element, doesnt effect insurance and will do a similar job.

Just got one for my RT, definitely made a difference. 0-60s have come down from around 11.5 to 11.1. This isnt just a one-off as i do this sort of thing 3 or 4 times a week so know for sure when a mod makes a difference.

BTW, i used a pipercross replacement element, cos £40

Theres a viper kit on ebay at the mo, was fairly cheap. Good Sh*t!

 

[Bryan]

but then on top you have the re-map/chip to stop the engine pinking

a lot of money for a couple of bhp
