   lots of people fit aftermarket induction kits.
   
   its good you are looking at enclosed and not just a cone filter. due to the fact cone filters sit at the back of the engine and just absorb heat, which isnt good for power. not a fan of viper myself more BMC, much better value for what it is.
   
   benifits may be a slightly better throttle response and 1-2 bhp in reality/a nice sound.
   
   dont expect it to set the world on fire.

   alot of people go for the BMC if you want an enclosed kit.
   
   it all depends what benfits your after.
   
   try doing a SEARCH.

   Viper does look nice but the bmc is a better filter as its not got any metal on it, the viper has metal at either end which will attract heat.

   I used to have a viper on my old vts and it was good dont get me wrong but the bmc would be better for the money.
