I have a 2009 jcw clubman and bought a Helix. Very easy to install and fit perfect!

Don't bother with the ebay ones as we've had several issues having to cut and bend to try and make them fit.
I have the Forge on my car and what we install the most of so I recommend it.

For the piping don't spend big money, we offer our Res Delete pipe that does the same thing as the $240 pipe, but for less than $60

My question is if you can find a cheaper intercooler than fit the way it should without any modifications what makes it not as good as a name brand one? All it does is give the air more time to cool before entering the engine.

Cheap metal and cheap welds....seen these Chinese knock offs break at weld points as well as the cheap ones not always made properly with varying quality of fit....
