Hi fellow Nam's. A couple of weeks ago I installed the K&N apollo Cai on my Cooper R56 and i quite like it. Dont think though it gives 8bhp+ as potn and K&N told me but still it gives some better sound...

But what i dont like with this intake is the "sucky" hose that goes from the apollo to the front of the car...

But what I wonder is wich intake is the best to use:

K&N apollo
K&N Typhoon (even though it dont have a heat shield)
Or the oem intake with vip's air tube + K&N filter.

Maybe there is a another intake that i have missed?

With best i mean = sound and performance.

Thanks.

8.92HP increase, dyno verified. I use the JCW intake, which is good enough for me.

~~EDIT~~
Oops, I just noticed this is in the Non-S section. I am not sure what is available for the Cooper's of the world.

 

Are they not only for the Cooper S? Super ags = S? And JCW too?

 

The AGS and the JCW are only for the S. I just have an open cone for now and I really like the sound, although I'm not sure of any performance gains. Besides the VIP (which really isn't worth it), and the K&N, there aren't any intakes made for the non-S that I know of.

 

Try this thread it has a lot of info on this subject.

Check my edit.

 

I must, respectively, disagree with the last statement. I really like my AirVIP2, as it is simple to install, nice growl and gives an increase in throtle responce.

Is there any strut braces that you can fit while using the apollo intake?

 

Yes the GT Strut brace will work
