Looking for a new R60 CAI "Trusted Tester" in the SF Bay Area . . .
Hi All,
As it turns out, our current trusted R60 owner who was assisting Defenders of Speed with the CAI project is unavailable to help us out.
Are there any R60 S owners local to San Francisco that would be willing to helps DoS out with final fitment and maybe some dyno time? If so drop me an a PM on the forum or an email at clint@defendersofspeed.com.
So you may be asking yourself, "What do I get for all this?" -- You get a free DoS R60 CAI system in exchange for your time!
If anyone's interested, let me know!

Clint, while we're waiting, any more details on how this is going to work? The renders you showed us make it look like it will occupy the place of the original air box. I'm having trouble picturing how the bulkhead access point will work.
Also, do you have a sense of how the audio will be on the R60 CAI compared to CAI for the other Minis?

Will the DOS CAI fit also EU Countrymans? If you need some testing feel free to contact me! I've been working with Supersprint for the development of the exhaust

The "performance/track" version has a port in the side of the housing for a snorkel that mates with a grommet in the bulkhead.
Also, (before I forget), you're not seeing the really cool optional noise baffle that mounts to the end of the "street" version of the intake --or-- inside the snorkel on the "performance/track" version. You can see more about this part here: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.p...61923377223959.
On the "street" version, the hole on the domed portion comes stock with a removable plug installed. The noise baffle replaces this plug, allows for more sound and keeps the hot air out of the intake housing at the low RPMs. It only allows exterior air to enter the intake housing after the engine is under load and the car is up to speed, thus cooler air is circulating over the car and within in the engine compartment.
The "street" version is fairly enclosed & quiet unless you add the optional noise baffle.
We're giving you lots of options with this intake to meet the needs of many different performance enthusiasts.
Yes, it will fit EU R60's with no problems!

You might be able to grind back the mounting tabs a bit on the "street" intake for ease of cover/removal, but that will require some experimentation.

Just posted some photos of the pre-production intake on FB:

Got a BIG (& hopefully final) test-fitting & instruction manual photos session lined-up for tomorrow.
Fingers crossed to start taking more pre-orders & prepping production parts next week!

Beautiful. Is the valve that opens at higher rpm's allready designed? I don't see any pics of that. One other thing, that appears like dry carbon fiber look. Will the production be the
smooth glossy look? That's one long filter, looks like it would flow good.
PS, thanks for posting here. I don't Facebook, I get in enough trouble with the wife without facebook female issues.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, the housing will have a dry carbon fiber look. For customers that want a glossy housing, there will be a $60.00 upcharge. (Email me about this option because it will not be listed on the website initially.)
