After doing some research, II think my first real performance mod is going to be the intake and tower brace. I am set on the Madness Intake but don't know which bar will fit over the intake without cutting into the heat shield. Anyone using madness intake and a tower brace, please give me some advice! I was looking at ones made byHelix13 or MINI Mania.

Thanks Guys. I just talked to someone at Mini Mania and same answer. he told me that they are going to come out with a titanium version of the bar in few weeks!! Also I am looking into Mini Mania 's intake. I think it's not bad at all. It is cheaper than Madness one and the filter is a trusted K&N. Any one have one of these installed?
