well maybe it will let some more air in the engine bay, but I wanted it for the more "Mean" look. If ya know what I mean.

Well if you get a CAI like alta or M7, your putting fresh air right into the filter by having that thing.

I don't understand. I thought the m7 scoop was only available in fiberglass? Where did you get the carbon one?


***EDIT*** Nevermind...I see it's an order option directly from m7.

Yeah, I have been bugging them since they came out with the fiberglass one. So they had me down as a pre-order on it. They were shipping mine when they posted that they were available. WOOHOO!! Now if I can keep bugging them to come out with a grill for the rear bumper, then I'd be all good!

masterd78, it looks fantastic! Anyway you could get some pictures from a little farther back for me? Was the install tough? Or pretty easy?

The more I look at it, the more I like it, and I loved it to begin with.

I don't even have my MCS yet, and you've already got me thinking of ways to spend more money on it.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Install was a piece of cake! I can get some side pics tomorrow and post them up. Everything needed for the install is included. You get a 1/4" drill bit and then one of those progressive drill bits also. Simple, and the reward is worth it! Morbius, post some more pics of yours too, for a multiple car comparison.

Clnconcpts, that's what I'm trying to get a real look at. The pics that have been posted thus far look BAD A**. I would like to see one on RED (what I have).

Also did you have to open up the underside of the hood to allow more air flow?Can you show pics from under the hood?
thanks

Cosmo, you don't want this scoop. The whole thing is stuffed with Cosmoline!

Help with Installation

I will receive my M7 Vortex scoop next week, but I am a little concerned about having an easy "piece of cake" installation. Any advice that would help a novice make a clean, tight fitting installation (including removal of original scoop, drilling, etc.) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Your Mini looks great!
