Default Fook off big cossie K&N V's piper x viper..?..

whats better??

obviously the k&n will flow more air, so is it better than a piper cross viper?

and, how much and where from, including the reducer bit??

Ive got the K&N in my car and I need to clean it every so often with its own cleaner and oil solution which I normally do when the redness of the filter fades due to crap build up, once you clean it & put the oil on (K&N oil is red) it looks brand new

u might aswell save urself some hassel and go for the T.E inlet then aint ya. Its a bit like what ur doin as it does sit right behind the ports and has a bigger internal volume than the std 130ps inlet, and for 160 quid delivered it aint that badly priced either. Im gonna get one if it will actually fit in a fiesta bay cause it looks a bit big to me.
