My elise had this induction kit fitted when i picked it up. It looks fairly good quality, its enclosed etc etc.. but i can't find any markings on it to identify it. Neither can i find a similar pic on the web. Does anyone else have one of these? It sounds auwsome under load btw



and the red bit looks really cool through the vents...



cheers

The only induction kits I know of (commonly) on an Elise are hurricane, the ITG one, the viper one and one of e-bay from Piooly (sp). I have no idea which one this is, but it might be worth checking e-bay to see if yours matches the one there as I'm sure the others would carry a makers mark quite blatantly!

Chris is right, Pipercross Viper.

I have one, great bit of kit and not cheap so nice mod to have!

Whip it off and make sure it's clean though.

thanks for that. You're right not cheap, looks like it retails near the £250 mark. It does make a fantastic sound when you boot it though and might even inc. the power as well as my grin. There is no way you can go back to standard induction after fitting one of these. It sounds so much nicer (roorty?) than other elises i test drove (and one of those had a K&N) - definately recommended.

Hey Alex,

As Chris discovered - about £250.

Really no better than other brands available, probably 1 bhp between the lot of them. People even get good results with DIY efforts using flower pots and such like!!

I guess you could argue that the non metallic ones (Pipercross, carbon Hurricane and ITG) will transfer less heat from the engine bay to the air drawn in, but this is really splitting hairs. It's the carbon that puts the £££ up by the way.

Hurricane seems the best bang for buck and available in a few different colours.
