Through extensive experience in motorsport, Pipercross have advanced induction kit technology to a point that is unmatched in the U.K. Their main aim is to ensure unrestricted, smooth and cool air flow into the engine to create more torque and engine power.

Pipercross offer you three types of induction kits. All are supplied with necessary fittings and fixings to ensure a correct fit. Some (where applicable) are supplied with a cold air feed.

Induction kit type 1> 150mm OD Rampipe Base, closed end

Pipercross set the standard with their entry level range of induction kits. With a unique 150mm OD aluminium base, with a smooth flow interior, air turbulence is dramatically reduced, air flow is smooth which helps the engine breathe better and so performs better. These kits are also available with an inverted aluminium end (rather than a flat aluminium end) which forces air into the filter and makes full use of the 150mm rampipe base.

Induction kit type 2> Vector 150mm OD Rampipe Base, inverted end

The Vector kits are slightly more technologically advanced in that the cone filter has spun alloy inlet which helps improve air flow through the filter.

Induction kit type 3> Viper

Taken directly from under the bonnet of motorsport applications and transferred to road use, the Viper kit integrates advanced air-flow technology with sublime style, resulting in a must have performance modification.

It is important that the air drawn into the air flow meter is cool, dense and smooth flowing. With a Viper kit, air is drawn in through a cold air feed into a 100mm diameter inlet (or where this isn't room, the inlet is directed towards a cold air source). Once the air is inside the filter, it is kept cool and dense by the carbon fibre casing surrounding the filter. Once the air reaches the rampipe its pressure is increased before being fed into the induction system. To ensure the most optimum air flow possible, Pipercross make use of a 'reverse flow' technology air filter and a 150mm rampipe. With this type of design, air tends to move towards the edge rather than to the centre of the inlet pipe. Subsequently, through their unique design of filter cone and inlet, the moving air flow increases its speed and pressure, so maximising laminar air flow, and reducing air turbulence into the engine, resulting in increased engine power.

Whether you choose a Pipercross entry level induction kit or their most advanced Viper kit, there is no doubt that the style and performance of your car will be dramatically improved!

About Pipercross Foam filters

All Pipercross filters are made from specially developed polyurethane foam which acts as a filtration medium, giving both a higher performance and life expectancy than stock paper filters.

Pipercross reticulated foam is created by a chemical reaction. It is then placed in a gas filled combustion chamber where a controlled explosion burns away any complete cell walls in the material to form a skeletal cellular structure which is strictly quality controlled. This process, which is specified by Pipercross ensures that the foam consists of tiny open cells which will trap contaminants/particulates.

The cell size of the foam, or porosity, is measured in Pores Per Inch (PPI). Pipercross air filters use up to six layers of foam with varying porosity descending in pore size in the direction of air flow.

Pipercross filters have a long life span due to the dirt storage capacity of the foam cells and filter construction. No air passage is blocked until all the cells in a layer of foam are completely filled. Each filter is designed to hold contaminants/particulates in the outer layer while inner layers act as a secondary filter to ensure a further high level of engine protection.
