induction kit or panel filter?

[mike.e]

hi all...curious to hear frm all valver owners who have either of the above fitted...

have read on the pros/cons of both but want to hear 'straight from the horses mouth' so to speak

cheers, nice one

Just fitted mine yesturday and done about 15 miles with it on... much smoother and responsive, nice growl too! 

Just getting it ready for AmD to chip it! 

(Pipercross Viper Kit - Had to modify the bracket to fit, filed the hole bigger and put bend in to get level - very easy to fit, come with destructions but they were rubbish... )

How mucho did you pay for the induction kit if you don't mind me asking ? I'm still undecided about which induction kit to get for mine.

May have been somewhere around the £90 squid mark... possibley... maybe... 

Don't think there would be that much difference between brands, K&N, Pipercross... SSDI (same sh1t different induction-kit)

Does the induction kit not guzzle the fuel?

I've got a bog standard K+N air filter on my bady, dont actually think its made any difference, but would be interested in the induction kit IF it doesnt drastically effect fuel consumption!

i had an induction kit on my old car and it drank like a fish (do fish drink?).

Fitted a panel filter and 70mm cold feed to my 8v and fuel comp is better (slightly) if anything and it feels smoother if nothing else.

Not sure about it guzzling fuel as i've only done 15 miles since its been fitted... logic would suggest that its there not just to let more air in but be more responsive in doing so, may of course then let more air in and therefore burn more fuel but that wouldn't be noticable... quite often its because you tend to become more heavy on the old right foot!!  Basically you're putting the same amount of fuel in but managing to burn more of it with the colder, more dense air... therefore theoretically making it more efficient. All depends if the ecu puts more fuel in to compensate more air, which i think it does... So in short, I have no f*ckin clue 

Deffinately noticed a smoother power range and little more quicker to rev...

MPG will drop, especially if you have a heavy right foot
