$360 from Fabre Australia

They were telling me they were getting 6 KW extra on the Dyno as well as a whole heap of extra torque low down...
Am fitting it tomorrow after i get the car back from the dealers (getting the driving lights added and the water reservior changed)..

Will let you know what it's like

Great Vid!!!

Boo · Mar 10th, 2003, 07:25 AM

I need to get some better editing software but then again, if it was at higher res it would be a huge download

ratboy · Mar 10th, 2003, 09:29 AM

great choice of air kit got mine about 3 weeks a go

Boo · Mar 10th, 2003, 09:37 AM

can you tell any difference??

ratboy · Mar 10th, 2003, 09:55 AM

yes the car seems a lot freer than before better low down torque.
Just one thing after installing the air kit the car seems to breakdown a couple of times around the 4000rpm mark and then its all good as if the ecu was reseting its self and the its fine

Boo · Mar 10th, 2003, 08:23 PM

cool, thanks for the heads up

Goul · Mar 10th, 2003, 08:45 PM

Thanks Boo, keep us posted with results, i will probably get one also. Thanks for the contact details

got mine some time last year i think.. cant remember.. week after last years autosalon final battle. pipercross had a stand there.. i wouldnt say the change is massive.. but i've gone between the standard box and pipercross filter a few times and its definitely quite noticable right across the rev range

Boo · Mar 12th, 2003, 06:58 AM

I love it...
The pipercross is quite noticable in that you can tell your engine is breathing heaps better...Could be due to the fact that the air filter i pulled out was dirty as hell.. can't believe they didn't change it at the first service (18500 k's)..

Better torque as well as a deeper note to the exhaust and a more urgent whine under the bonnet...

the verdict of value for money IMHO..
Five stars...
