Pipercross Viper Cold Air Induction kit
« on: 13 July 2012, 00:18 »
Does anyone know how these are fitted with the standard airbox still under the bonnet? Really liking the thought of one just not too sure the work involved in fitting it. If anyone could give me some idea how do this it would be appreciated :) thanks

Well they fit on the end of the Maf, then you route the pipe down to the front bumper area.

May as well just drill your airbox for free. It will give the same induction sound and wont cost a thing. Done it all my 8v's now simply for the sound and any induction kit on an 8v is only for the sound as it will make no diferance at all to performance.
