Does anyone have an online source for the '05 JCW intake kit, in-stock?

 

I know Rasmussen in Portland has one. It was going to be mine until I found out how much the replacement filters are. It comes with a non-reuseable paper filter. New filter is over $100. No thanks. The Dinan looks much better now.

 

Yeah, that's nuts. I usually consider washable filters to be the main reason to modify the intake. HP boost is typically so small, it's hard to justify the cost. How long do you think it'll take K&N to come out with a filtercharger drop-in replacement for the paper cone? ...or have they already?

 

Email Brian at Classic MINI, bmwparts@classicautocampus.com and he can give you their stock on JCW Filter Kit and replacement filter...as well as the cost.

Email sent, thank you.

$100 for a paper filter? No way. There must be alternatives or much cheaper prices.

I do not want to go with another intake because I do not want to hear the SC as much as an open filter lets you. I have that now on my GTP, and I like being able to have a quiet car at low RPM. Between the belt whine and LOUD intake S/C sound I get on the GTP you can't even hear the exhaust or wind noise. It's nice for a while, but I wish I could turn it down sometimes. The JCW flap is the perfect solution.

Is anyone else not getting email notification from NAM lately?
