Induction Kit For Cooper

[f99lr]

Has anyone found or put a new induction kit on the R56 cooper yet??

Yes K&N do one, Ive seen the Apollo for both Cooper and S (R56), they look good and give impressive figures, although I dont quite believe them...

The apollo is a universal air filter... it has not been specifically made for the R56's.

I will be waiting untill K&N bring out an induction kit which is just for the r56. The Typhoon

The Apollo filter is a universal filter in itself, but the fittings and cold air feed are all different from model to model.
Just as if you look at a typhoon kit, the cone filters are all exactly the same (universal), but is it just the fitting kit that is model specific

I know this is for the R56 S and not the Cooper, but this looks like its made for the job and not a universal filter...

I wonder...would it be so hard to make an induction kit that uses the bonnet airscoop? The problem is when you open the bonnet maybe a fixed (but a bit flexible, plastic so) conduct and a rubber around the scoop that seals when the bonnet is closed...

Does anyone have a photo of the engine bay without the stock airbox? Maybe one could be done in glassfyber... with enough place for a big direct air filter and the "flat pipe" that goes to the scoop. Painted in matte black could even not look too much aftermarket or handmade.

I've posted k & N dyno charts somewhere on this site...the throttle was snappier, the sound amazing. i suggested they use the scoop but k & N's r & D neasured airflow/ temp etc and said it wasnt needed
