Hey guys new to the world of mini just been resesrching keep coming up with open intakes not being a good idea but I have yet to see anything on the jcw intake any thoughts on an 07 coop s

 

The JCW intake is a true form of CAI. You're doing yourself a great deed for your car if you go this route.

 

Appreciate the help and its not that bad of a price jcw seems to be like an oem+ witch I like I could be wrong

 

IMO, The JCW intake is the best option, hands down!

 

Cool any other tips you guys have for a mini newb

 

Yes a bigger rear sway bar! That's all.

 

Thanks man

 

On the R56 I like the JCW intake the best, and have one for both my R56's


R56 JCW Stage 1 Intake

also it isn't loud and annoying.

 

I bought one for my car as well.

Don't order the filter separately, it already comes with one.

 

lol Sounds like someone made that mistake, eh? spare filter!

 

Will the JCW intake fit the Justa?

 

No it will not. The intake layout is much different on the non-turbo engines.

 

Quietly waiting in the garage until needed.

 

I'm curious about the seal you mention on the page....is it between the filter and the box?

I'm looking at options now. I just sold my ddmworks ris and already miss the sound :-(

 

Yes it is.

I opted for the seal, $30 or so IIRC. He is correct that it probably has no impact on operation but its there regardless.

I could also have used the rubber surround on the Alta filter I took out, possible the stock panel filter has one also?
