seriously what makes the viper and bmc £100+ more

like stated on here the other day, the air travels too fat to be heated up by the metal

Carbon fibre mate its exspensive shit!

[jas16v]

so performance wise theres no difference?

[Scottp]

quality of the filter element itself will vary hugely as well

[Sparco_Tom]

there will be differences in performance, if you think company spend time and money developing the inductions kits and the other small companys just copy them but on a budget

Hmmmm now Ive seen quite a few things about totally enclosed filters on rolling roads that lost the car bhp but that said a silly little fan blowing on and into the engine bay cant hope to recreat the same amount of forced air into a enclosed filter.

As for quality, its hard to say, branded filters will no doubt have a better material for filtration and airflow compared to a non branded item, does that mean you shouldnt buy it Jury is out on that one.

For the money it looks ok, not unlike the Pipercross Viper and the K&N Apllo systems.

Best advice is, if you like the look of it and you have the money then take a chance, it maybe good it maynot be good - who knows.

ask yourself why most people swap their raceland filters for a green one..
cheap filters are quite simply not as good. Otherwise we would all have the argos max power filter
