my findings when I went from K&N typhoon to ECS CF was HP about the same but torque gained about 5 pounds. This is open K&N compared to boxed ECS .

But the main reason was my IAT when stuck at light stay about 20F cooler than when it was open element sucking hot air.

And it really does look nice too.

 

Thanks for the info. Was that before you had your FMIC?

 

After.

 

Anyone know if this will fit with an NM Engineering strut brace?

 

Yes, with plenty of room to spare.

As soon as I get home from a business trip tomorrow, I'll snap some shots and post them.

 

Do you have any pics ? Love to see them.

 

HYG...







And a few gratuitous shots of my toy...

 

Wow , nice R56, I have those Spyder DRL headlights and the GP2 BBK also. Well done with everything. Bravo.

 

Thanks! Got my Challenge splitter from you and there are so many things that you can't see - many from ECS!

 

Welcome.

Thanks , looks good, figured that was from us and you took it one step further.

 

Hey Kid !
Nicely done !!

 

Yeah, I can get my MINI up to some higher than city speeds out in west Texas, sometimes even not too far west of my home. Even with the Challenge splitter it gets a little loose at about 120. I took it out after adding a splitter I had laying around from my R53 and it is rock solid at even 140 now. That is actually my second Challenge splitter from you guys. My first was destroyed by a flying piece of truck tire tread about a month or so after I installed it! It hit it dead center and knocked it loose and shattered the center section where the two pieces join. Hopefully that was a freak incident but is just one of the numerous road hazards I deal with down in South Texas.

GP Brembos are from you guys as well.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the reply.

That intake looks nice.

Wow, I love it, could you see your pms? I just sent you one, thank you!

 

Bump

 

I have one, flawlessly built, perfect fit. Slightly more growl than the stock intake, and a bit of under-hood bling.

 

Just PM'd you back I was out of the office.

 

Thanks!

 

GOD that intake is so freaking beautiful. I was gonna grab one when I was on the search but ended up going with the CTS Turbo one because of $$$. My only gripe about the CTS one is there were no instructions and no resistors for the sensors that get removed on the N18

 

Thanks again!

 

Just an update our ECS CF intake is on sale with free shipping and has the ECS $50 gift card included to use on your next purchase.
