At POTN, we love Pipercross. Were all using them here, being new to POTN and having a standard Toyota, I decided that I had to do something to it and the first mod I deiced on was to make it breath better. I opted for the pipercross foam filter.

Why the Pipercross? Well the pipercross filter is a lot larger then the cars standard panel filter, the filters about 30% larger than anything else on the market and it can be taken out for easy cleaning. This bigger open foam filter means it has a big surface area so its the least restrictive filter of its type and you don’t have to clean it as much.

The good thing with owning a Vauxhall, the fitment of the Pipercross PK154 can fit;

Vauxhall Astra Mk4 1.6/1.8/2.0 16v (inc Coupe/Convertible) 02/98

Vauxhall Astra Mk4 2.0 Turbo (inc Coupe/Convertible) 03/00

Vauxhall Astra Mk5 1.4 16v 03/04 –

Vauxhall Astra Mk5 1.6 16v 03/04

Vauxhall Astra Mk5 1.8 16v 03/04

Vauxhall Astra Mk5 2.0 16v Turbo (inc VXR) 09/04

Vauxhall Zafira Mk1 1.6 16v 02/99

Vauxhall Zafira Mk1 1.8 16v 02/99

Vauxhall Zafira Mk1 2.0 16v Turbo 04/01

We all fit induction kits with the aim that they give you more power. Its fair to say this has. I can’t tell you the physical power increase because I haven’t put it on the dyno, but it feels better to drive.

So, how is it? Well I love it! I’m really happy I fitted the pipercross about two months ago now it revs so much more freely with a good pull in midrange. My favourite bit is the noise, kicks in at the start of the midrange and keeps going through to around 5K.
