This product is poorly designed and incomplete….As mentioned by other reviewers, there is no Rubber Seal supplied to fit between the Cone Filter and the MAF Sensor, this was easily rectified with a few wraps of PTFE tape.The instructions are terrible, and don’t seem to fully represent the parts that came in the box. However, there are plenty of pictures of the product installed on the internet that can be used for reference.Additional issues I found where… 1. My car was missing the threaded studs in the chassis leg to mount the Head Shield. From Googling it seems some cars either don’t have the Studs or have Threaded Holes instead. Ended up having to Drill and Tap fresh holes.2. The main bracket that supports the weight of the MAF sensor /Cone Filter is far too long, positioning the assembly far too close to the Exh Manifold. This is easily rectified by cutting about a 1/3 off the length and drilling a new 8mm hole. 3. The adapter piece that goes between the Main Bracket and the Jubilee Clip is poorly designed so doesn’t seat well between the Clip and the Cone Filter and doesn’t have sufficient thread length to engage the supplied Nylock.4. The M6 Bolt to attach the Heat Shield to the Smaller Bracket is too long to use with the supplied Cap Head Nut, fixed by using a shorter bolt.I don’t mind some light modification to get stuff to fit, but for the people expecting a plug and play kit, this certainly isn’t. Seeing as others have ran into similar issues, I feel MX5 Parts should maybe remove this product from sale until it has been made fit for purpose. Now that it’s installed, it does sound good; you get very tasty induction noises, particularly at high RPM. No noticeable performance gain, but wasn’t expecting one.

Not great, there's more than a few problems with this.There is no rubber seal between the filter and the rest of the air system which probably allows a reasonable amount of dirty air in.The instructions are not good at all.Doesn't really seem to fit in the car properly.Also, the heatshield isn't much use at all.The worst part is that it is clearly a used part! Not sure if this is a fault of mx5parts or pipercross but everything was scratched up and the filter had clearly already been fitted to a car before. Not the end of the world because the filter was perfectly clean and looked new so maybe it was fitted then immediately removed.The good part is that once fitted it does sound better so does its job I suppose as long as the dirty air doesn't become a problem later on.

Air filter kit doesn’t come with a seal for between the air flow meter and the cone. Had to try bodge it, didn’t work. Going back to stock airbox.Would recommend finding a different kit or buy from someone that has found a rubber seal suitable. MX5 Parts themselves were flawless however.

Very easy to fit, forget the instructions and just use the picture and common sense! Fit the filter to the existing pipe off the car, that way you can get it nice and tight without issue and still easily get it through the rear of the heat shield and attach to existing clean air pipe. I even applied some heat shrink tape to make the seal even better but it's not really necessary. Once on it sounds good but I doubt adds any real power. Overall I'd recommend it as it tidies the engine bay and sounds much better.

EXCELLENT! A real dramatic(!) increase in sound (& much cheaper than upgrading the exhaust!) with an increase in power (or at least the impression of having more BHP, with the cool impreza type sound); hence definitely takes the standard car to being (sounding) more like a trackcar!Fitting took around 45mins, the instructions aren't as bad as some make out & the photos help massively (I just followed the steps on the photos). My top tip would be; that the j/clip actually slots into the little chunky black plastic washer type thing on the nut&bolt. Fit the heat-shield first (using existing bolts which held the original box in place, but incl. the 2 new washers) then slot the filter in & couple to the plastic a/f meter. Although after having fitting the j/clip with the bolt to the longer black metal bracket (which comes with the kit) & then put in place with the j/clip opened out to accept the filter's sleeve. N.B. The meter filter sleeve crimped a bit with tightening the j/clip hard (whilst carefully 'just' bending the heatshield out of the way) as it could do with some sort of large rubber washer to prevent this happening, as the sleeve is 'marginally' larger than the a/f male pipe end. Although I can't see that the crimping will be detrimental.All in all this does seem expensive, but it definitely increases the old' MX-5 smile!!

No criticism of MX5 Parts, the usual excellent delivery and service..problem is with the product. Worryingly there is no seal between the filter neck and air flow sensor, possibly allowing unfiltered air into the engine, crude mounting arrangement, ambiguous and incorrect installation instructions. Three phone calls to Pipercross and nobody bothered to call back.... come on guys you can do better than this! I returned it to MX5 Parts and was credited straight away.

This Kit not only looks good it enhances the engine bay with the shiny heat sheild replacing the old black airbox. Easy to fit (approx 30 mins) would recommend removing the rubber ring on air flow meter,as this allows the filter to fit flush and giving the clamp a good grip,Gives a better performance higher up rev range and a nice throaty (if thats a word but you know what i mean) noise when you give it some stick.Usual fast service from the guys at MX5 arrived in less than 24hrs

The Pipercross kit was easily fitted, looks great, and does not add significantly to induction noise. The noise it makes is much nicer than expected and therefore really pleased

I bought this weeks ago and didn't get round to fitting it, finally threw it in with some braided lines and had the mechanic do the lot. OK, so the best bit is my little Mk1 1.8 with 120,000 miles goes like the clappers, it's bloody brilliant. Makes a great noise and rips up through the revs, so much better than the K&N filter in standard box set-up I had. Hilarious, thrashable, buy one.

Please see english comments and note to editors attention below the french part.Livraison rapide, belle finition du produit, cela sent la qualité, on verra si ça tient dans le temps. Comme lu ailleurs, le mode d'emploi c'est effectivement n'importe quoi. Indigne de Pipercross. Je conseillerais de se fier au maximum aux photos et à son instinct personnel, les instructions et repères des pièces sur les photos ayant une fâcheuse tendance à faire mal au cerveau, voire induire en erreur. Ce qui est un comble dans le sens où mis à part ça, c'est très facile à installer malgrès un écrou aveugle trop peu profond pour serrer complètement le haut du pare-chaleur sur son support. à moins que ça ne soit la vis qui soit trop longue... quoi qu'il en soit, j'ai eu besoin de 3 petites rondelles trouvées chez moi pour solder le problème. Ah oui! Ne pas oublier d'huiler (mais pas trop) la mousse extérieure du filtre avec le produit fourni AVANT de commencer à l'installer!En ce qui concerne la partie fonctionnement, effectivement on sent tout de suite un léger gain au niveau couple et réactivité de l'accélérateur, lequel s'accentue au fil des premiers jours d'utilisation. Le bruit du moteur change pas mal aussi, même avec une ligne d'échappement full stock. Personnellement j'apprécie le changement radical de sonorité (du ronronnement au rugissement!) qui s'entend dès 2500 Tr/min. Une autre bonne chose: tant que vous n'appuyez pas plus que ce qui est suffisant pour rouler tranquillement, le bruit ne change absolument pas par rapport à l'origine et ce quelque soit le régime moteur. Idéal pour rester discret quand c'est nécessaire!Un petit bémol cependant... il y a ce léger mais constant bruit d'aspiration, présent même au ralenti. C'est tout à fait normal quand on y pense (le moteur respire plus librement), mais au début j'ai eu l'impression d'avoir une courroie qui frottait légèrement sur quelque chose... on s'y fait vite d'autant plus que c'est couvert par l'autoradio et/ou le bruit du moteur à la moindre accélération.4 étoiles seulement pour cette histoire de mode d'emploi et d'écrou non adapté.First, the good:Fast delivery, good, well looking product. As efficient as said on former english comments. Regarding the engine noise's change, I've to admit it's trully outstanding. I have a full stock exhaust line and the engine is really howling is rage from 2500 up to 7500 rpm! Though I'd just want to add that there's this always-present-little-air-aspiring-noise that is a bit pesky. But you get used to it quickly, particularly as it's easily outshined by the car's stereo and becomes totally inaudible at the first throttle trashing. You effectively feel a slight torque and reactivity improvement that gets bigger through the first days, as the engine get used to the new induction I guess.Then, the bad:As read in former buyers comments, the written fitting instructions are surprisingly... useless. All you'll do if you try to follow them is getting misled plus probably get a strong headache... I think you'd better carefully look at the pictures and follow your instincts because it's quite easy too fit this way. And, yeah, don't forget to oil the exterior foam part of the product with the included fluid BEFORE you start fitting it on the car.4 stars only because of the lame fitting instructions which are a pity, particularly from a famous brand such as Pipercross, and also because of the little thing explained hereunder.Note to editors attention: is it normal that I've had to find three little washers at home in order to be able to complete this kit's fitting? The fact is that the upper bolt (the one that tighten the upper part of the heat shield on the "L" bracket) is way too long for the included chromed bore nut... if I had done the job only with the included fittings, I think I'd be hearing rattling and metallic vibration from the engine bay, as the heat shield won't have been fully fitted... have I done something wrong or is it the guys at Pipercross that are a bit of cheapskates?

Our Guarantee - MX5 Parts

We guarantee “always fair prices”

MX5parts maintains an everyday savings pricing policy. We watch other retailers closely and maintain competitive pricing. The internet being the beast it is means that any Tom, Dick or Henrietta can set up a website in their back room and charge bargain basement/off the back of a lorry (guv) prices. Often they will have no stock, no returns policy, questionable security, no guarantees and of course poor customer service. MX5parts strives to be open and honest, so we will never inflate our prices to set up an artificial ‘sale’ (a common – and illegal – retail practice).

It is inevitable in an open market like the internet that there will be some individuals selling some items cheaper than we do, and some selling them for more than we do, just as in the high street. We take great pride in offering a fast, efficient, friendly and secure shopping experience, with great products at fair prices. We encourage our customers to shop around, but are very pleased to welcome them back again and again.

We guarantee to despatch your order when we say we will

If you order before 3pm, Monday to Friday and we have your items in stock , we’ll despatch the same day . If you order after 3pm, we’ll still try to despatch that day but, if we can’t, we’ll despatch the following day. Items ordered after 3pm Friday or over a weekend will be despatched Monday. Items despatched on Friday are for delivery the following week. Items ordered over a Bank Holiday will be despatched the next working day.

We guarantee to replace any goods which aren’t suitable

We guarantee to accept back any goods that you do not want, are not suitable, have changed your mind about, infact, for ANY reason, provided the goods reach us within 30 days of dispatch from us, in their original condition and packaging. Please tell us why you are returning the items, just for our records. The original purchase price of the goods will be refunded on to the card that was used for their purchase. Sorry, but we can not refund the carriage costs.

We guarantee full warranty support on all items

Just contact us if you have a warranty problem. All goods supplied by mx5parts are from official sources and are covered by the normal manufacturers warranty.

We guarantee that we will only charge your credit/switch card when your goods are dispatched

This is your right under UK law and, if we do anything else, it’s illegal!

(Please note: This doesn’t apply however if you have chosen to pay via PayPal. Due to the way PayPal works, you are effectively sending the money to us rather than us asking for it so in this instance we will have received payment at the time the order was placed and not when it is ready for dispatch).

We guarantee that we won’t pass your email details on to anyone else

Absolutely not. All your details are treated as strictly confidential. We’re internet users, too, and we know how annoying unsolicited email can be. We wouldn’t risk annoying you by being the cause of it.
