Tbh I would just keep the Viper, it isn't going to make any noticeable difference.

My drilled air box (plus my other spec) made 125 BHP. If it had and induction kit or and enclosed one would it make more or less power. I do not know.

i thought an enclosed system made more power but hardly noticeable on the road. aren't vipers suppost to give a better mid range?

there will be no difference between the viper and a airbox with panel filter.

the airbox will sound better as the vipers are quite nuless you take the intake pipe off.

i had a viper on my old corsa, didnt sound as loud as when i had a drilled aibox but i only bought it coz it was £30. It did have a nice note to it though.

what about BMC filters? i've heard that some filters can make the car sound raspy and some deeps, is this true? if so what would be a good filter that would give a new gain at low range and a nice deep sound
