Offline | yeah i have it in my car, so do my brother an other friends overhere. The panel inside the cylinder is a K&N and the cylinder itself is made of CF. Its a bit tricky to install as you have to remove completely the previous air system including the resonator. To make the installation almst professional i recomend to use two ¿elbows? ( thats the direct transalation from spanish ) i mean a 90º tube, to avoid air loses, instead of using the flexible tube provided. Whit this filter you take the cold air from the bottom of the car and not from the inside of the engine bay. It makes the way longer for the air to arrive but this is what makes it a real cold air intake. here you have a link where you can see the photos of the install. http://www.formulamini.es/foro/showthread.php?t=270 In this case my friend took the air form the fog light hole but its even hard to do it this way ( and no more efective). Altough you see in the pics he broke the resonator it can be removed in one piece but you will have to tilt it firmly to do it i hope this can be of any help. As i said i´m spanish and i dont know if i have enough english level to explain it properly. Regards, Alvaro El mini no es un coche, es mi vida (Mini is not a car is my life) |
