if the viper thing is £250 new, how much is that going to be?

it looks alright but i think the stats are exaggerated slightly. No way would it increase performance by that much on a NA car.

probably £300+ looks a little bit over engineered look at the amount of shoot on it and i'm not sure what engine has the space to accomodate that box

thing is they're most likely going to have to make it smaller and surely that will affect how it performs possibly rendering it crap.

Apparently they thought on a CTR it would increase power by that much which wouldn't be unrealistic compared to how the other air filters increase BHP.

Honda owners would believe it though. and ask questions like "will it rev to 15000rpm innit bruv

^^^ Would help if I read that the graph was on about a CTR
Cybermonkey - Nah they were talking about it a few months back when the VForce was first announced.
There are filters for the Type R that do actually increase BHP by upto 15bhp believe it or not, dyno proven.

think it was tested on a ctr, and got good gains, remember them being chuffed with the readouts when i went to get my new air box...... the operator may be having them on tho as he mentioned putting leds in the box to make it look better
