how much is the pipercross one for sale mate

10th March 2009, 18:33

hi yeah im quite intrested in this aswell, i have a pipercross to go on but with no fittings or anything, the standard filter looks to have alot of pipes and stuff going to it and stuff, but if i remove all the air box where do i plug the sensors and stuff into? i heard if your dont put it in right you loose all your power?

All you have to do is remove it all lol, i bought my filter second hand so im waiting till pay day to get the tubing, but all you need to do is remove 1, 2, 3 on the below image,

And then the Filter is put into the inlet where the box goes into. The pipe which is after the box is a oil/pressure release valve (type thing, or so ive been told) then tighten the jubilee clip up so that it wont fall off, looks like this:

Wow! engine looks dirty in that pic

needs a clean soon!

somtimes not that simple if u got the round style air box with the air sensor on u will av 2 relocate it on the tubing from the filter u will also av to fit a breather u can buy a t piece as there are 2 pipes that needs a breather ( if u have 2 pipes going 2 airbox) sounds complicated but it aint , dont make the same mistake as me and buy a universal there crap

10th March 2009, 19:43

including driving to halfords to buy a breather filter it took 10 minutes to remove old airbox and refit new filters using nothing but a screwdriver!

11th March 2009, 14:39

11th March 2009, 16:52

11th March 2009, 19:25

Thats the rocker breather pipe. Take it off & put one of These on instead

11th March 2009, 19:35

A rocker breather pipe? I will get one, but what would happen if i didn't?

1st June 2010, 17:45

i've taken off the standard air intake system (that droopy flexi thing with a vacuum looking head on it), and fitted an air fliter there, onto the box with the engine pipe coming in.
I want to put an oil breather on, where do i put it and how?

2nd March 2014, 11:47

That is the daftest place to put the filter,tons of heat soak,it needs an induction pipe routing round to the slam panel.Then the filter placed onto the that.
