Pipercross Viper Induction Kits for the Audi A3

Using 'velocity air force', each Viper air intake directs cold air directly into the engine. The cold air feed takes air from an area of cold, dense air straight into the Viper's inlet, swirling it through a unique Pipercross reverse-flow air filter contained within a carbon fibre heat shield, then into a ram pipe to increase the air pressure before feeding it into the induction system.
 
The carbon fibre heat shield protects the air charge from under bonnet heat keeping it cool -and therefore more dense -thus introducing more oxygen into the combustion mixture,giving increased power.
 
The reverse flow technology filter and 150mm ram pipe make use of the physical phenomenon of air tending to move towards surface area's, creating more air flow on the edge rather than in the centre of the inlet. The unique design of the filter cone and the inlet 'tune' the moving air flow to increase its speed and therefore its pressure maximising the laminar air flow into the engine, again resulting in increased power.
 
All kits fit straight onto the car with no modifications needed, so are very easy to fit

Pipercross VIS Induction Kit for the Audi A3

The Pipercross Velocity Intake System, is a carbon fibre air intake designed to maximise the torque produced by your engine, the natural extension of this being an increase in horsepower. By relocating the air filter away from the heat of the engine, the supply of cooler, dense air gives a reliable increase in power.
 
Each VIS utilises a Pipercross Vector power cone with a unique foam construction, using the same technology as our air filter for Formula 1 and the World Rally Championship. Maximum air flow with the ultimate engine protection.

The tuned design of the VIS gives a broader, usable power band with superior airflow when compared to the standard airbox and a specially textured inlet surface offers a much better throttle response. On the 1.8T engine this can result in a signification reduction in turbo lag.
 
The section of pipework is made from aerospace quality pre-impregnated carbon fibre, that incorporates a proprietary thermal barrier layer in its construction. The use of various fibre composites is geared specifically towards keeping the inside of the intake tract as cool as possible.
