   I no this would have been covered a few times but i just need an simple answer is it worth it.
   
   Pipercross viper induction kits, Are they all what there made up to be? Anyone fitted one to vts because im thinking of getting one, any difference noticed? Worth the money?

   there ok but personally id go for a green, raceland with green or BMC, there a bit cheaper and are proven to work

   Yeh because i dont really want to spend loads of money, but i do want to slowly get my car quicker. And only asked about them vipers because of the 10bhp. But predatorVTR whats the best site for the ones you suggested?

   the fact that the supposed crabon viper, has metal in it speaks for itself really, when metal conducts heat ,lol

    yeah you wont see much difference with an air filter, id say 4 if you lucky
    
    i got mine from euro car performance, it was the cheapest for green induction at 210, or about 90 from kam racing thats the raceland with green filter

    I had a viper on my vts, not worth the money mate as there encased in metal so attract heat. Bmc would be a better option.

    try larkspeed for green cotton ram kit. i had one on my vtr and liked it.
    
    tbh, i just have a uprated pipercross panel filter in my standard vts box with a cold air feed direct to the box. figure that the box is designed for a reason, got to be better than sucking warm air out of the engine bay from a cone filter.
    i was even looking into covering it with a heat wrap thing, that i have accuired from offshore. not sure if it will make much difference lol
    
    viper kits arnt worth the cash mate.
    green cotton or bmc.

    there are a number of different options depending on your taste and your wallet
    
    For the value end of the market I dont think you can beat the Raceland and green filter
    
    coming in on the middle ground is the carbon BMC induction kits
    
    at the more expensive end you have the Green Forced Air Induction. Fit this if you want a kit that matches what the citreon sport saxo rally cars used
    Ecosse also make an expensive version at a similar price to the Green kit

    Right sorry to keep dragging this out but one final answer which one do i go for? Either the BMC CDA enclosed induction kit or the Green Forced air induction both kits on Kam-racing.com
