D7 YME Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 I know K&N air filters are crap. BMC air filters have been suggested but does any1 rate piper cross ( Do BMC have a direct cold air intake like the piper cross viper air filters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lup Gti Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 yer pipercross make a good filter for the Gti, had mine on for over a year and it was good. Cost me around £60 at the time and they suck like hell!!!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopogti Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Yeah ive got a pipercross too, they sound great. helps if you get a separate cold air feed to it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D7 YME Posted May 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 doesn't the cold air feed come with the kit or do u have to buy it seperately LOOPOGTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 comes seperately. You can either buy the proper pipercross one for around £20 ish or you can get one from fellow company GREEN who do one for around a tenner which is twice as chunky. Harder for routing though.

D7 YME Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 yes k&n do have an induction kit for the gti and it slowed my car down any ideas "dare" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGTI Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 people slate them cos of the position in lupo engines & the heat but with the cold air feed they are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gargoil Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 k&n are far from crap. Too true, do they do an induction induction for the gti?K&N filters come into their own when your engine is tuned and deresticted a bit more, ie reseated valves, port and polish, better manifold, decat etc!!

D7 YME Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 oh ok i will bare that in mind but `no-one` has been able to tell me why my emissions light came on when i had it fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payna Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 iam not 100% sure, but i think k&n filters are probably the best manufacturers *for filtering the air* some one correct me if iam wrong, but again it all depends on an abundancy of cold air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 BMC is better on the lupo though!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D7 YME Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Wll looks like i am going to have to go for a BMC. i may have been that the cold air feed was not fitted correctly "K&N" I really don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Look at it this way.What are you wanting the filter for.For extra power at 6.2krpm or what ever the peak powers at?As we know a filter on a Loop with standard map, isnt going to give you much if any.But if your wanting pure sound, the Pipercross sounds fcukin ace at full revs.I have a K&N on my ph1 and sounds grumpy, but not as nastey as a pipercross does.I think a BMC is a better choice of the lot for a Loop, but if your wanting sound more that power go for a pipercross.

D7 YME Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 i am having my lupo chipped when it comwes back from the dealers so i will most probably get a bmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Marky Marc Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 i am having my lupo chipped when it comwes back from the dealers so i will most probably get a bmcGet the air filter done first so when they remap the ecu it takes into account the extra air flow and you will then see the diference....no point if getting it chipped on the normal air filter and then changing things round.....
