HI, do you guys know if a pipercross viper, or standard induction kit are compatible with a mini one in such a way that the standard airbox can easily be re-fitted? I ask this as my 2006 mini one hasn't even come to its first service date yet but i want to add an iduction kit to liberare my bluefin, however i want to be able to re install the old airbox so my garage doesnt know! thanks, alex.

Any induction kit can be added and then the old airbox put back on quite easily

I had an induction kit on my old car and swapped it back for the original airbox no probs atall

Nothing like a good lie to get you through life...

Why not just fess up to the fact that you have modded the car?

If you want to keep your warranty then don't mod it or except the fact that you will lose your warranty if you do. It is called being honest and having integrity. Wait until your warranty is up before you do it.

When I modded my car, I took the responsibility that if something fails, it is MY fault and I have to pay. Why should the dealer have to shoulder the burden and cost of something that I did? To top it off, the dealer will not really be the burden of the cost. We as consumers will as the dealer will just raise prices to recover what is lost. Personally, I think that prices are high enough already, so you will get no advice from me.

Yeah right....

You have a very odd sense of humor, it wasn't even funny.

The Pipercross air filter fits in the original case! I've had my car seviced under warranty with no problems.

_Noddy_ · Jul 17th, 2007, 07:40 PM

Same here, the old one came out jst fine and the new one fitted straight into the old pipe

Are we talking about the pipercross induction kit or just replacment filter here because I'm looking for an induction kit that requires the least amount of fiddling around
