Dunno about that one....

Looks restrictive and looks to not gather so much cold air. Just a shiny bit of chrome under the bonnet.

2cents.

Don't really understand how that would work well. the objective of a free flow filter is for it to open up the stock air box. That metal housing over the filter has almost no room for air flow. ??????? Looks nice, but I don't know about how it works.

I've seen that filter part before. I just checked the APC website thinking it was theirs. But that filter part is an off the shelf item adaptable to any intake. IHMO, the seller probably bought the pieces seperately to see if he could make some $$ with something nobody has "seen" (atleast MINI owners haven't) before.

It's not a cold air intake - it's a shower head and probably has the vibrating pulse massage for that price.

Well heck, if was going to buy one, I'd do it from JC Whitney for $14 less than ebay!

Looks like junk, IMO.

Seems like it's been MONTHS since I've seen mention on MCO of the other JCW !

That wins the "most phallic" intake hands down.

And where is the hose attachment?

Is it steel, stainless or plastic?
