Hey Randy, Would you be willing to sell one of the long filters seperate?

Garrett

 

Well if anyone is interested in knowing if the M7 strut brace will clear this intake, here are pictures to show you (scroll all the way down):

I might be tempted to get this now to replace the pilo intake.

Yah, M7 did well planning to make sure the bar clears so much under the bonnet. Except the bonnet lining...lol

 

Tell me about it lol. Now just need to make some extra money and debate weather I want to get this intake or not.

Garrett

 

I know you replied to this thread already but I think it helps point to the HDI is a great intake

I guess I am one of those suckers that will need to see more results to justify for spending the extra money!

Garrett

 

Not a sucker, just careful.

I'm an induction kit Ho

My Alta was around 2 years old so I was looking for new and shiny

 

I got my Pilo intake used at a good deal and that was a month before I even had my Mini! Not this is looking to be another option, just have to think real hard on this one! The extra money I have laying around now is going towards the viper stripes that will get put on in a few weeks! I need more OT!

The Webb HDI isn't on the website anymore... sold out?

 

they are currently sold out. but should be in stock in a week or so as i was told.

 

Just a bit of related info.

There was mention of needing different bolts for clearance of some strut bars. BUtton head stainless was impossible for me to find locally so I ordered some from here:

http://www.boltdepot.com/product.asp...&cm=19&cd=1317

The bolt is a 6mm x 1.0 x 12mm.

They have chrome as well but I bought stainless and will just polish them.

Should end up looking like this:



BTW, the HDI is listed on the Webb site again.

 

So for the past few weeks Ive been researching and researching on which intake I would like to get. And I think I've decided on the Webb HDI.

Has anyone installed one yet? If so, what do you think?

 

How does the Webb box differ from the MyMini Cooper S ColdAir Filter Kit #2?

Design wise they seek to address the same issue which is hot air getting in from the engine bay. The standard CAI which uses a rubber strip to seal up against the hood has weak spots, especially lower left corner for the hood indents at that point. How important are these weak spots - well in reality proabably not much considering that a HAI has proven to be an intake alternative but if you are a CAI purist these new sealed boxes are the way to go.

I have the MyMINI box but left the top off because I love to see the ITG filter . The MyMini box uses the same base as their open CAI system so you can opt to use the lid or use rubber stripping which ever floats your boat.

 

Any word on when they will have the hose completed as well?

 

Uh... the easy answer is they look pretty different.

 

When I asked I was told it would be a couple weeks to a month.
As always that depends on suppliers and supplier quality.

So maybe less than a month.

 

Perfect timing to save on shipping by buying the Webb exhaust and Webb HDI.

 

clarification - I had stated earlier that the mymini box could go either way because the base piece was the same as their open CAI BUT I was INCORRECT it is about 1/2 lower soin open style it wouldn't seal up very well if you didn't add additional rubber stripping.

 

I addded the HDI yesterday and in this Mini world of small improvements for big $ the HDI is a very good improvement over my Alta..... the low end torque has improved very nicely and the overall power has a nice noticeable increase......the quality of the box is vry nice...... the sound inside the cockpit is more refined IMO and while there is still a whine I can hear the Milltek much better than with the Alta....... this is a very good product well worth the $ IMO.... the hardest thing is going to be getting one...... no offense to the Alta but there is a new sheriff in town.

 

I know The good news is that I should have mine on Friday

 

Just for a difference in appearance
I went from this

To this

 

Does it add 3-5 hp???

(C'mon, everyone was thinking it.... I was first to say it!!)

 

They're longer than the originals. So they reach father down into the intake box and act as heat sinks.
At least .00057823493245843528º F cooler.

 

Don't forget the weight savings.
