The subtle modder Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) are there any bhp gains to an induction kit? what differences can i expect?yep thats what im on about style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> , some say yes to gains some say no depends who you believe i will say one thing the pipercross on mine gave it a major flat sport in 3rd but the sound was imense and more than made up for it it also reved alot freer i wasnt convinced on this but swapped back to the air box twice and it is correctNot really.They just make a nice noise style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />and do it well style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> wayne Edited February 25, 2007 by The subtle modder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 there was some1 on here selling a pipercross for 20quid wasnt there i think its still for sale. The pipercross aint a bad induction kit its just the stupid place it has to sit in the lupo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicko Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 the bit mentioned about it feeling more free-reving sounds good - i guess the car breathes a bit better.so i guess (i know i sound like a bit of a flid asking all these dumb questions) that a performance exhaust system would also make the loop a bit more responsive??does that mean i'd have to buy a complete exhaust system?
