piperx replacment filter

[JACKO CUP 172!]

i have recently brought a piperx rep air filter 4 my 172 cup do these make any differnce?? or is it a waste of time?am thinking of gettin a viper kit do they make them much quicker??

the replacement panel is better than the renault item, as long as it is kept nice and clean. not sure on the viper as i dont own a 172. i have a viper on my 1.2 and it looks good and improves the response slightly - dont think id bother again in all honesty.

Stick with a good panel filter in the OE airbox...ind kits may sound good but will probably loose you torque and for the money there are better mods to be done.

I recently fitted a green panel inmy airbox and it seems to have freed up the throttle slightly and it doesn't make loads of noise which in my book is a good thing.

i have noticed it is a bit more responsive. but dont think it has change the engine tone at all.

I didn't notice much difference in noise either but I didn't want the car too loud anyway.
