Intercooler boost tube replacement
I have a new intercooler and preparing to install on my N18 2013 MCS and already have a silicone replacement for the hot side to remove the resonator, but also would like to replace the cool side elbows with some silicone replacements in red. Anyone know of any specifically for the N18 engine without the sound generator? Seems all the ones I find both top and bottom (near the IC) are for the N14 engine.
Anyone know the dimensions? Maybe I can order them off siliconeintakes.com.

Are you certain that there's a difference in the boost tubes for the N14 vs N18? I don't know for sure if there is.
Alta sells red tubes. They just say R56 2007+. Maybe give them a call?

I know no performance benefit, but just looking to match color theme under the hood.

Yes we have the Forge hose for the throttle body hose

You just don't have a noise maker, but goes in same location.

There you go! Way has you covered!
On a side note, I took a look at the link to WMW’s site, those look pretty sharp, and something like the blue set would match my hot-side charge pipe nicely. I wonder if those would work on an R60..... It’s not listed in the fittment list, but a lot of R56 parts will or can be made to work on the Countryman. Same engine, same basic layout for most under hood parts.

and the R60 has no noise maker so don't need to replace that hose.
