which induction kit?
Can any body recomend the best induction kit to fit to my vtr? I want some thing that sounds really deep and loud?!
I currently have a piper x on there but i have only just bought the car and the piper x induction is broke ie. matey who had it before me decided to cable tie it together and i reckon if i took it off it would fall apart lol. Thanks

As said before you have to move the power steering fluid which is very easy, Because you can use the bracket supplied with the kit and then use the next slot along on the slam panel. *A LONGER PIPE OF ABOUT 3 INCHES IS NEEDED*
I then also used the original bracket that holds the standard air system in place on the side of the engine and just bent it and moulded it into the right position so the kit sat in position just ontop of the radiator so it would get full air running through it rather than it being sat right behind the slam panel and getting no air, Had to slightly grind of an area under the air induction kit so it wouldnt rub, *only took a small amount off*
and there you go, kit fitted absolutly perferctly once i maid these small changes.
Hope that helps

Uprated panel filter and 'good' cold air feed are the best way to go in my opinion. Induction kits are mainly for looks.
BMC with good cold air feed is best of the induction kits though.

For deep and loud i'd get a k&n 57i
Personally i'd stick with a standard airbox and an uprated pannel filter though.

I can tell you for a fact that a Raceland induction kit is better than a standard airbox with uprated panel filter.
Saw a 5.5Bhp gain on my VTS

Hi, I was looking at buying a pipercross viper, but then heard rumours they werent that good. Was wondering if anyone on here would be able to advise me on 1:- whether these rumours are true or not and 2:- what to get as an alternative if they are. Thanks
