Thats a very similar air filter to K&N but it does not have a heat sheild. I have a AFE CAI which does have one. Check out this site they sell the kit for $160 or a kit with an extra filter for $195. I just bought a second filter to use while one is getting cleaned.

That looks just like the K&N Typhoon. I wonder how they mount the fuel pump relay...the K&N comes with a bracket for this.

I couldn't find the price. Is it cheaper than the K&N?

I've been very happy with my Typhoon, although this post is reminding me to clean the filter soon...

Forget them both if you want your MINI sounding like a real monster without spending alot of mini just take off your stock airbox and replace it with similar air filter that comes in all of the AGS kits, i did mine tonight and i love it.....
