Best place to buy a K&N Typhoon kit

Hi all,

Just wondering what the best price is for a K&N Typhoon air filter kit in the UK. Any web sites / phone numbers would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Typhoon kit

Hi Matt

I have just ordered one from here www.motorsportworld.co.uk

The guy I spoke to said it should fit a 05 Cooper S, only hope he is right I am waiting for an email from K&N to see if there is any difference between the 05 model and the previous model. Will let you know.

Oh and most importantly I paid £174.23 inc p&p + VAT

Hope this helps

Re Typhoon kit

Hi

K&N have just sent me an email back and they say the f Typhoon kit should fit as there has not been any changes under bonnet to effect the fitment.

I looked on ebay and there is one seller at the moment think it was £195 plus £10 p&p

anyway hope this helps.

Just wish my new Cooper S was here got to wait until November I traded my 01 Cooper so am now carless oh well give me time to save for some new bits......

Does anyone know what the 'Minispeed Cooper Typhoon Induction Kit' is? It's only £62...a fraction of the cost that the k&n one is

Hi me again

Hello Matt


I had already bought the K&N Typhoon when I saw the MINISpeed filter. Looking at it, it seems to be basically a copy of K&N's Typhoon range.

I have read a few posts who also recommend the Alta Filter.

Suppose if they all do the same job then you can save a few quid. It's a bit like do you buy the latest designer stuff or go out and but something that works equally as well but unbranded.

Try reading a few reviews of each kit if you can find them.

Blueflame do a nice cold air kit but dont know how much.
