Marqs_Loopy Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 QUOTE(Poobah)Heres a link to the pics of the Viper Kit on my GTi as described in the post below. I've still yet to get some more heat insulation for the kit but it already has produced impressive results. Can some one let me know that this link works. What do you reckon?

Alan VW Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 looks good, how does it sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Sounds pretty throaty to be honest. But nice throaty, not k&n cheap induction borp. Just got the coilovers fitted so l'll post some pics once l've got the suspension set to the right height l'll post a pic or two. Also got a load of Samco to replace the flexible ducting on the Viper kit so that'll go on when l get a spare 5 mins. Cost me £150!! For Tubing!! but what the hell it'll look sweet and nice and professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdwindustries Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 poobah i thought on the viper kits that the front was supposed to go to the front of the car - so it gets rammed in the pipe so to speak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Yeah l was gonna mount the piping into the front grill but after close inspection l realised that there is no free space that isnt covered by rediator. When l fit the new Samco hosing that will go down to the lower right hand vent at the bottom of the bumper. Gonna be a bit of a pain though l reckon.

gargoil Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I bought the Samco hosing to swing it round to the passenger side of the engine but I`ve never got round to putting it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 yeah there is room down by the lower grille - the piping will be a bitch to sort you are right. lose the full beam lights i say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdwindustries Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 QUOTE(Poobah)You mean the side lights? in the bumper? kinda need them for mot dont ya?Chrisyeah side / main beam ones. yeah you need em on a gti style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> but hey only at MOT and night time. yeah ok its a crap idea, but would look like a cup car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 lol! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> don`t think I`ll be doing that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Not a crap idea, l thought about it for a while but couldn't think of a way round it. would look really sweet though. hmmmm needs more thinking time.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I can`t imagine a crapier way of arranging an engine bay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 what than now or after taking out the lights?I mean its possible but you would have to lose the xenons. put some indicators somewhere then you could have a wishbone style double air intake - one from each light hole, joining up and forced through bigger pipe into the induction kit.... hmm maybe thats a bit over the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 just take the bonnet off and leave it off and stick the pipe up out the space , not as if the car is aerodynamic as it is! would be best for cooling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poobah Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 haha sweet mate, well let me know a time and date and we'll have a mini meet? We should really bring that Sheffield Meet topic in Events to the top again as we've got at least 5 ppl interest.Looking forward to seeing that side exit up close style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":twisted:" border="0" alt="twisted.gif" /> .

Poobah Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Nice, like the sound of that. I've got a few idea's but l'm not sure which way to go. Wanted a side exit with a 4" x 1" square slot for the exit but then l'm left with the gti bumper with a gap in it! Might go for something quite standard looking but a bit bigger and `f-ing` loud.

Tigz™ Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Im thinking about changing the tail pipe on mine to something a little thinner.Ascar do a tail pipe called the letter box. Is about as wide as mine is, but only about 3/4" thick instead of the 3" thats there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 you read my mind! Thats the one l was looking at, reckon that would look real nice and subtle coming out the side. L so want it but l reckon its gonna have to come out of the rear bumper.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 thats why my bumpers so cool, no cut out style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> There is loads of cool pipes that'd look the **** though mate.
