   Anyone had any experience with these?
   K&N still list them for the 106gti, but not the vts. Spoke to them today and they said they'd let me test one on the saxo to make sure its all good.
   Surely there is no difference In the fitment of the two as they are both same engine.

   Iirc Kam Racing sell a Typhoon kit fot the VTS, but i'm pretty sure it would be identical to the gti, becuase as you said they're the same engine, etc.

   I was looking at these a while back, i thought they went down towards the fog light But it still looks like a good kit where it is, add a heatshield aswell and it may aswell be a K&N Gen2

   Gen2 comes with silicone piepwork though, whereas the typhoon is alloy.

    And alloy does look a lot better

    Rrp is something like £210 +vat. I do like the alloy pipe, plus its probably better for flow.
