Hi,

I'm considering a new air filter for you Cooper, but was unsure which one. I was looking at the PiperCross Viper induction kit and the JCM Cone Open Air Filter. I was wondering whether anyone out there had any experience with either or both of these parts and which was the better?

If not then one that you would recommend?

Cheers

I have a Viper on mine and it seems ok to me

I'd say it defo feels quicker at higher revs and throttle response is crisper!

u can run with or with-out the ram pipe on upto u...I run mine with it off for the lovely noise it makes

yup i'd recommend it

when u say JCM do you mean JCW??

if u do my mate has one of them and I can tell you about that too

Yeah its the JCW parts, but they are designed for their Motor Sport use, so the real name is JCM (John Copper Motorsport).

But its basically the same thing. It look like this actually

Its the cone air filter. Is that the one he has? If so which would you say is better, not that there is a best, but you know what I mean

Cheers

ah rite I see

yup thats wot he's got the open cone one

well mines louder by quite a bit

as for performance they are both ruffly the same throttle response wise with mine being a bit free'er top end of the rev range

if I had the choise of the two I think i'd go for the viper again and I'm pretty sure my mate wud go for the viper too now

hope that answered yer questions
