SC02 FFF Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 elaberate, whts a catch tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Your breather pipe goes to the tank, so any waste oil is 'caught' into the tank.This saves the oil clogging up the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Pipercross filters have been slated many a time for not being able to filter half the crap out that K&N, BMC, Green Cotton, ITG can do...Foam filters also soak up more heat style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXXXtreme arosa Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 i wouldnt buy a piper one that is the worst place ever to put the filter! isnt the idea to get more cool air into the inlet? all that kit is going to do is soak up all the hot air. you want a filter by the grill at the front or one that is enclosed with a feed from the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Edit: is it worth getting a Oil Breather?you have to blank the inlet for the breather pipe on the elbow pipe then as the pipercross supplies you with a great big rubber hose to connect it to the elbow from your original breather pipe!

The subtle modder Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 had one on my sport mate also jen did to they sound very nicemore of a racy sound than the pipercross grunty sound i think?will note thought there both made bythe same company and both use the same mounting plates etc just ones covered in foam the other is covered in corogated cardbourd fine mesh style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plug Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Got the piperX on, and it sounds phat. Got a propa throaty roar to it. Gotta purchase a oil breather tho, was getting high of those fumes style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />.If im being honest, id say the loops lost a bit of pull low end having the induction kit on, but i only wanted one for a bit of noise can allways bang the K&N panel back if it starts to annoy me.

scotty Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 did u get the one with the polished elbow pipe like mine?! there should be a big piece of rubber tubing and a metal connecting pipe to connect to your original breather pipe n connect to the elbow pipe?!
