Pipes and Tubes

No, they aren't playing Coachella with holo-Tupac.

I'm talking about the pipes and tubes in the engine bay of our Minis. I've seen charge and discharge pipes and CAI kits that include some of the tubing. I think I'd like to swap out every plastic air tube with silicone tubing, probably color match it to the body. Has anyone swapped out *every* air pipe on their CMS? Has anyone seen an aftermarket cold feed tube (the tube that delivers air to the air box from the grill)?

I'm in the same boat wanting to replace those hoses, but I worry about the fit of them. Forge mentions that fitment is for the Clubman and Countryman, but I wonder if they really are the same hoses or "close".

NM-Eng also has the discharge pipe and air charge pipe.

That's exactly why I haven't bought them yet. Forge seems to have more hoses available (than NM Eng), but again fitment? Someone might have to TOFTT and just buy and try.
