The Pipercross Universal Viper Induction Kit (VFC7000) is designed for car enthusiasts seeking enhanced engine performance and a distinctive under-bonnet appearance. Its primary benefit is increased power through improved airflow and cooler intake temperatures, though it requires careful installation due to its universal nature. This kit replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a sealed carbon fibre housing and a high-flow Pipercross filter, utilizing a cold air feed system to deliver denser, oxygen-rich air to the engine.

No, this is a universal kit. While it includes various adaptors, some custom fitting or modification may be required depending on your specific vehicle's engine bay and intake system.
The primary benefits are increased engine power and torque due to improved airflow, better throttle response, and the delivery of cooler, denser air into the engine.
You should use a dedicated Pipercross cleaning kit. Follow the instructions on the kit, which typically involve spraying a cleaning solution, letting it soak, rinsing with water, and allowing it to air dry completely before reinstallation.
Modifications to the engine's air intake system may affect your manufacturer's warranty. It is advisable to check your vehicle's warranty terms or consult with your dealer.
The rampipe has a 150mm outside diameter and is 150mm long (200mm including inlet/outlet). The inlet is 75mm, and the outlet is 86mm.
The kit includes adaptors for 60mm, 65mm, 70mm, and 75mm intake pipe diameters.
Yes, the carbon fibre housing is designed to insulate the air filter from the hot air generated by the engine, ensuring that the filter draws in cooler ambient air for better performance.
Ensure all vacuum hoses and sensor connections are properly reconnected. Check for air leaks in the induction system. Re-seat the MAF sensor if applicable.
Verify that the cold air feed is drawing air from a cold source and is not obstructed. Check that the filter is correctly seated and that all clamps are tight. Ensure the correct adaptor size is used.
While some noise increase is normal, if it's excessive, check the seal of the carbon fibre heat shield and ensure all connections are airtight. Some ambient sound deadening may be applied to the shield if necessary.
Review available space in the engine bay. Minor adjustments or relocation of other components might be necessary. Ensure the correct orientation of the shield and rampipe.
Setup:
Installation of the VFC7000 requires mechanical aptitude. It involves removing the original airbox and filter assembly. The carbon fibre heat shield and rampipe are then positioned, and the cold air feed hose is routed to an area of the engine bay that receives direct airflow (e.g., near the grille or headlight). Ensure all connections are secure and sealed to prevent hot air ingress. The included adaptors (60mm, 65mm, 70mm, 75mm) should be used to connect the rampipe to your vehicle's existing intake piping.
Compatibility:
This is a *universal* kit, meaning it is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles. However, due to variations in engine bay layouts and intake systems, some custom fabrication or modification may be necessary for a perfect fit. It is recommended to measure your existing intake pipe diameter and compare it to the included adaptor sizes before purchase.
Care:
The Pipercross air filter is a high-flow, reusable filter. It should be inspected periodically and cleaned when visibly dirty, typically every 10,000-15,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Use only specific Pipercross cleaning kits to maintain the filter's performance and longevity. Avoid using high-pressure water or harsh solvents. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinstallation.
