The MINI_Maadness Filter for the MCS comes with the filter, housing bracket and a spray bottle of cleaner and oil.

Dumb question, but, is the filter element already oiled, or do you need to oil the
element before actual use?

 

need to put oil before you use it.......just installed mine tonite......not much sound from the cone (unless bonnet is open).....alot more sound from the supercharger tho.....

i think you'll notice the difference from 3500rpm till redline.....i like it.

any strut brace that will work with the madness intake?

 

>>any strut brace that will work with the madness intake?

I think you need to get the BMC intake if you want a strut brace. I'm not the expert, but RandyBMC is... i will bet $$$ he will chime in soon.

I just got my mini-madness intake from him today... can't wait to get home to install.

THANKS RANDY!!!!!

I was told: from a dealer that " If the filter is a red/pink color
- that's the oil. If it's a white or grey color it needs to be oiled". Hope this helps.

 

SMG,

Great question. I'm checking on a couple of sources to determine that on Monday. MINI-Madness and Rogue are working an a specific brace to fit with the intake, but as of yet, it isn't available. There are a couple of other braces out there, and those are the ones I'll be checking. I'll report when I have the info. You may want to wait until I can verify any fitment problems - which could take a little while. Maybe a week or two - there are about a gazillion projects and tests going on in the MINI-Mod world right now.

Randy

 

hi randy, tks for the info. Can't wait.

Just fyi, i'll be getting the KW variant 2 on monday...will post my comment soon.

 

SMG: I'm loving that tire and rim package you've got. Nice set of sig pics. Those Hamann wheels? Have any more pics of your MCS with those on? If you do, could you send them to me via email or post them here? Thanx
Cheers,

THANKS!

SMG, what are the tire and wheel sizes in the photos on your post....they look a little meatier, nice!

 

tks guys, those are hamann 17x8 wheels with 215/45/17 advan 048R tires.

yes, they're bigger than what it shud be.....i shud've got the 215/40/17 but then i won't be able to use the 048R. (ultra soft R compound tire from japan)
