Viper filters

[blink172]

Where and how much are these, also how difficult to fit and are they worth the money??

about £230

if you like the induction roar and can fit the air pipe properly down to the front bumper then youll be ok.

Rich mate, how easy these things to fit and do you get induction roar or not - heard you dont coz its a sealed unit?

 

[RB_172]

You might be able to hear mine in this.

Dont think so.

KTR charge £246.75 whereas most other places are £250 or more!

 

[clio sport]

Thatll do then, still alot for a filter but if it does what it says then its worth it, shame you can only get it in annodised red tho

 

[swelch]

Do you need to get a remap or can the ECU cope with it ?

Nope...

Try eBay or the for sale/wanted section for a 2nd hand one!

Not according to Hill Power who did tests with a 172 & a Viper on their rollers...

If anything it was slightly under-fuelling but not enough to be of any concern.



Whats the deal with a re-map anyway?!

Can they just stick your car on the rollers and "tinker" with the setup?!

 

[McBunny]

it wont over fuel its lean at the top end very lean
