pipercross carbon v maxogen

I've had experience of both.
Fitment:
Viper is a mess & looks crap. The bracket is flimsey and the feed is a pain in the ass to get down to the grill.
Maxogen took all of 5mins to fit, bolted to the slam panel and the design is bespoke to the car, i ran it without a feed.
Performance and noise:
Viper: Sounded ok, lost 2.3bhp and 4ft/lb torque
Maxogen sounded amazing, power across the curve and a reduced emphasis on the 5k kick.
didn't do a power run before and after, but its just a nicer bit of kit
For the money...No IK is worth it, A panel filter will suffice, but i got mine for penny's so it was worth it's wait in gold.

Aye sorry forgot yee was Scottish :rasp:
"Wait" oot there isit?
Thats Plenty!...
Also got experience of both and tbh not that much difference performance wise between the 2 (IMO)
Build quality the Maxogen wins hands down. My Viper foam split thats the only reason i changed it.
Performance wise, pulled really well with the Viper, much better than the standard ph1 airbox set up.
Maxogen pulls slightly better further up the rev range but no great shakes over the Viper i felt.
Noise, Viper made a far deeper roar (air feed pointing not connected), Maxogen is almost silent.

oh god, cue yet more tales of Viper's giving 13bhp on back to back RR runs with the op still wasted on brown from the previous nights binge

I am very impressed with my maxogen... great bit of kit.
Have you been reading tuning for fukwits or something?? :clown:
Open ended IK, split foam equals road dirt inside engine equals bye bye engine ... :clown:
Might be ok for you but i aint gonna balls about running a split IK having spent X amount of K's on engine work
**oh and by the way. You'd probably gain power not lose it (less restriction) clown
zip it mr "i've got 240bhp"
tell you what i'll redo the test out my own pocket just to shut you all up!
203.8bhp @ the wheels
163.6lbs/ft @ the wheels (similar to the Cup but with milder cams and totally standard engine isn't it?
)hey, I wasn't operating the RR... but now I think about it I'm sure he said a Clio had come in for some runs and it had a Viper, decat and Peco Big Bore 7 system and it was 80bhp up on stock
178hp 172 Cup
i cannot talk about the Viper but i hav a Maxogen!! i gotta admit i never got the car dyno's b4 but with the Maxogen and a full exhaust system and de cat the cup runs over 178hp!! so defo not a drop in power there!! however i am still not convinced its better than a ITG Panel with a decent CAF which is what i had b4 the Maxogen!!!
178hp 172 Cup
forced induction??
