Did I just watch a 9 minute ad?

Yes

No, you watched one ad with another ad stuck in the middle of it.

You did but they have to make some money some how and at least this was actually informative.

Nice! A couple of months ago, I bought a Pipercross, installed it in my Golf 1.8T and I am very pleased with the product! Good to watch how it was made!🤘🏻

Hello, what foam is that that you use, and what foam (texture and density) can be used?

[@MrAdambinnie]

Wowwwwww - amazing video. I hope there are more. Particularly if Matt's in them too. Phwoar.

Do more videos like this please! I like it's all done in the UK.

[@tjeremiah9747]

Question. Is there really much difference between a branded performance filter and one you can buy of Aliexpress or ebay?

[@Izaza433]

Please keep this series up

[@TheKeenMechanic]

VERY INTERESTING TO SEE THE PROCESS. THANKS

[@firingoneight3088]

[@Blasterman124]

This is a fantastic idea for a series!!!!! Didn't think you guys could suprise me at this stage of the game. What's next? Rental car reviews? Driving the distance of around the world (25odd thousand miles) without leaving England?? I hope you get to collab with mighty car mods eventually

[@Jaakko11998899]

Got to say I'm impressed that they are mainly put together by hand! I thought these would be churned out using a completely automatic machine.

[@wonderingmonitor1996]

Loving how it's made mostly by hand and not on the other side of the planet. Was already looking to buy a cone filter, now I just need to check if Pipercross has one for my car. Great vid lads 👍

[@zer0bre]

Again, I have no idea why it's such a big deal where it's made. It's just foam over some wire.

[@wonderingmonitor1996]

Daniel Z well, for me it matters in the sense it keeps jobs in our continent (rather than made in countries like China). Also nice that it keeps jobs where someone actually makes something (not everyone has 3 master degrees, so I reckon it is a good thing that we're keeping some of those jobs here). So if you're just looking at the filter: surely, you are correct. However, I also look at other things supporting (sorta, kinda) local business and jobs for Average Joe. For me, if I can choose between 2 filters of similar quality, but one supports a business in a neighboring country and helps keep people employed that look similar to my family members - that's a nice extra for me and I'd even be willing to pay extra for it. Not being against anyone that chooses otherwise (to each his own), just trying to explain why it is relevant for me, that's all.

[@zer0bre]

@@wonderingmonitor1996 where you're from? Average joe kind of sounds like America, right?

[@wonderingmonitor1996]

@@zer0bre I'm European. Just used Average Joe because I reckoned most readers would know who that is. Morten Menigmand, Jan Modaal, Pierre Tout-le-Monde, Otto Normalverbrucher or Joe Bloggs, it's all the same innit? :)

[@philou9102]

I got an air filter from them like 3 weeks ago good products.

[@jdm.flair2020]

Philou they are the worst. Always had problems withe the filter just disintegrated and the engine sucking in parts of the rubbish filter

Didnt know they are mostly hand made, i've used them before and they are good filters. Interesting to see them being made, just wasn't aware there is so much oil used haha.

I have a pipercross carbon induction kit on my corrado vr6 and it's helps just wish they sold it with a box to stop it from flopping around instead of zip ties that keep breaking

[@onursisman8774]

Hey, we saw the megane rs, waiting for review.

[@Vintaronica]

I'm sorry but I have to say this. These oiled performance filters are ok for carb cars, or cars that do not have a hot film/wire air meter. But considering that a good 80 percent of modern cars do, the oil residue will ruin the airflow meter and you will find that you will have to replace the meter. You are better off with the factory cotton filter, and there is little to no difference in performance gains.

[@idokwatcher2062]

Agreed www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html

[@AstronomyWales]

But induction noise....

[@juzoli]

Marc Stock And performance air filter is not even giving you any significant gain... it is overrated

[@MattyEngland]

Agreed, oily filters cause oily MAF's.

[@larrrbs]

You get gains if you map it in

[@blairhenderson1476]

@5:00 why does Alex look like that one wrestler guy meme

[@PACKERMAN2077]

The oil soak is where the horsepower gets added. The longer it soaks in, the faster your car goes.

[@danielrobinson2861]

You need to put red stripes on your air filter too... 10x horsepower

[@zer0bre]

And if the car itself comes in red, you get 3x more horsepower for all of the added power already installed with the filter.

[@Adam2050]

I've learnt I probably wouldn't buy a piper cross filter, those things look flimsy as.

[@bennigek7196]

I gotta agree on that but theyre pretty good quallity. Just grazy expensive for what you get

@@bennigek7196 one of the pod filters or the panel filters?

[@bennigek7196]

@@willsaund13 both of them actually. Every filter has to be replaced after a certain time. Only the k&n filters are an item you dont replace too often but even those will have to be replaced eventually. You cant just keep cleaning them. Only issue i see with foam filters is when you have a kompressor as it will not only suck in air but also the foam as it sucks harder. Edit: i have a pod filter
