Anyone install a drop-in filter in a R56 yet? I found one on-line at http://www.myminiparts.com/proddetai...d=R56ITG&cat=7
and the same at : http://www.minspeed.net/R56ITG.htm
both $70.

Both are itg filters.

 

Looks like this is it until someone makes the CAI or a pipe w/open element K&N:impatient

 

Gained .6 hp?

 

It would take a pretty darn good dyno to detect that tiny increase. Could have been a humidity change too you know. But you too can get that .6hp increase for only $70.00.

 

I'd consider it if i was 6 hp. But .6?

 

Found a K&N filter here for $35:

The ITG filter that I installed gave better throttle response and gas mileage rather than raw power. If that's what you are after, prepare to spend at least a couple hundred on an intake. I love my ITG though. The difference was well worth it to me.

 

Thats good to know. Thanks! I may have to get one until an intake comes along.

 

K&N reports the same part number for all Cooper S, including 2007, but that's not gonna be right. Stay tuned; we'll be checking in with K&N about it.

Update: The 2007+ Cooper/Cooper S K&N drop-in is not yet released; expect it within 1-2 months.

Dan, thanks for letting us know. I want a drop-in for running G stock auto-x.

 

Ok, I ordered an ITG. Watch out I shall soon have an extra .6 HP!

 

Can someone tell K&N to slow down on releasing the drop-in, I'm getting dizzy

 

Here is some info on our filter, which we should be shipping anyday!

READ THIS JUST SCROLL DOWN TO THE FILTER AREA

 

K&N and other similar filters not only provide in most cases a mild increase in power, but many people buy them also because they are 'permanent', meaning they can be cleaned and reinstalled rather than tossed out when dirty. Over time, the cost of such filters offsets having to buy and discard several paper element filters.

 

My ITG is for sale in the items for sale section. I did the home made CAI with a K&N.

Asking $50 shipped
