I hear ya
I've read over a lot of "Air intake Threads" and most seem to agree with above post. My thoughts.
BUT THEY LOOK SO COOL!!!
Any ideas on how to dress up the stock box?? Anyone seen anything cool out there. For example. They have the aftermarket dipsticks. Id be interested if the aftermarket dipstick that is easier to read. I can search just trying to start a conversation.
Feel free to add any cool things you've seen.

Now like the others said if you had a Cooper S I would again no power gain. But since it's NOT an S there is actually HP gains. We did dyno testing on the first DDM intake and actually found an 8ft lb torque gain at the wheels. And the throttle response is really improved.

Please find other NON S owners with the DDM intake and they will verify it does actually make an improvement.

I have Remus axle-back only, I think it looks great, sounds great, but if you're looking for HP gains from it you'll have to go all out from the downpipe and go with a straight through cat back system, along with getting a tune.
The CAI is just for sound (noise), if you're only doing that without any other mods you're not going to see any performance gains. Vendors will tell you they dyno'd their CAI and got gains, they are lying. It may be true if it was tuned and had many other mods to go along with it, but alone...no gain.
I would suggest the JB+ piggy back if you're going on the cheap, best bang for the buck I've spent.

Well, my thoughts don't really change. I think I kind of wasted my money on the Remus because it's not a cat-back, but I still like it, so that's a contradiction.
The CAI on a justa seems irrelevant to do considering there's not much to gain, though some may disagree who have non turbo Coopers. My point is, it really doesn't make that big of difference when you have a turbo, it just gives you a better blow valve sound when the gears change. Again, some people will read this and say I'm wrong. I'm just telling you there are so many variables that have to work together, not one thing alone is going to make HP or torque gains.
The cheapest thing to do is get the K&N Typhoon CAI and see how you like it, beyond that I would save your $$ on mods unless they're for stance. I would rather invest in a good suspension, get rid of that wheel gap, rather than buy an exhaust. Get some nice rims and you're set, forget about gaining power on a justa.
