According to one of the members this is the best system on the market! He researched several different brands and did charting to show the difference of one to the others. Not sure if it's still available. ( His info I mean ) JIM

You can put together a kit considerably cheaper than that buying the parts individually off eBay. @5harp3y has some experience of locating the bits for the 2.8 kit he sells, and it's primarily about finding the correct diameter pipes. Not knocking that particular kit, but personally I think £180 is pretty steep for what it will give you.

Pipercross was found to have the better airflow over a selection that was checked out by a guy called Rich some years back.

Why spend that when you can 'fogg' the airbox for just a few pounds?

That's a lot of money

Great point, which I'd completely forgotten about!

 

[N4LLY]

Why spend that

Because I can

If I am going to do it at all then I only want to do it once

dont use ribbed pipe like in the pic, they cause turbulence in the air flow, ideally needs to be smooth or preferably slightly tapered getting smaller as it goes towards the engine. though this is really only relevant for high performance engines tuned to the t*ts, but hey it cant hurt as the gains from the air intake will be very small, but the sound more than makes up for it.
having said this, can something that flows more air trap as much crap i dont think so (only my personal opinion, but i would do it just for the sound).

In the original article on fogging, Shawn Fogg (see where the name comes from) recorded actual airflow data through the maf on a before-and-after basis, indesuptably showing an increase in flow:
